It's called a "snoopy" tool (the tool is shaped like a profile of snoopy), we use them to secure aircraft fasteners.

No I did not know about those Army Air Corp tools SGT (Join to see)
Since I am only 59 they were developed way before I was born :-)
Thanks for posting a picture of historical artifacts.

Dzus fasteners are quarter-turn fasteners commonly used on aircraft. The blade section on the left would engage the fastener like a screwdriver and the ears on the right would be used for different dimension of slots.

SGT (Join to see), Dzus is pronounced the same as "Zeus". And yes they are still used today. Southco Fasteners is one place that they can be found.

Cpl Kenneth Darby, Dzus fasteners are used to attach sheet metal panels to another sheet metal structure. A receptacle is swaged into the structure portion and the captured quarter-turn fastener is mounted into the panel.
They take the place of sheet metal screws and make servicing faster and much more convenient.
