Park crank extractor.  I have one and use it. Mine is not in that good shape.  I've beat the handle with a hammer.  The rubber coating is gone. 

Exactly, I bought mine sometime between 1982 and 1984.  I don't even ride a bike with a square taper crank/BB but my old school steel bike I bought it for is still up in the rafters.

I work on lots of bikes with square tapers. Heck, most of my own fleet still has them, so yeah, I have more than one of those tools. Also have one that's modified for Octalink and Isis.

Looking closer at your photo, I realize it has the extractor threads for Stronglight cranks on the back side. I have separate extractors for Stronglight and TA.

That's what the little tool in the picture I presented is for. AFAIK, the Octalink hollow spindle. You insert the adapter into the hollow spindle and use your ST taper tool as you normally would. I debated buying a complete tool for my Octalink setup or just getting the adapter. I got the adapter for around $7. Okay, I didn't save a tremendous amount but every little bit helps feed my crack habit.
