another "what might this be"

I think this must be the right or left lathe digging-in tool mentioned by Michael Oxley in Model Engineer in his rather amusing article about your first lathe. He also have an interesting

Read it! It IS funny!

I have seen much smaller cotter pin pullers than this one, and have one that is about 4" long; it has a flat curved feature on the opposite end, like a mini pry bar.

The post that you saw was in the practice forum, Some folks were helping me learn how to get photos uploaded, (which I still haven't figured out how to properly size them) so that I could post here, in the proper place.

I've used them and they are handy, a lot of folks have them and use them conventionaly not knowing what they are. Don't think that they are approved in the Aircraft industry yet tho.
