Answer: "it's from a modern LCD projector. white light goes in, gets split into three, each color goes through a different LCD, then directed into this which recombines them into a coherent single "beam" which is what gets thrown into the screen"

Not for a half-gallon juice can, but a 12-ounce can of beer before there were pop-top cans.
Commonly called a "Church key" in the '50s.

Harman,
They are indeed used to open half gallon cans of juice.
I learned to use one 50 years ago to open cans of tomato juice

Cornelius, I still use one to open cans of evaporated or condensed milk. Also, 50+ years ago soda cans didn't have ring tabs either, so you needed a church key to open them, too.

# 11, I don't think that's Marcasite. Marcasite has an orthorhombic crystal structure which is nothing like the photo.
