In the HP Lovecraft story, "THE SHADOW OVER INNSMOUTH", the hero uses a 
tool mentioned like this:
"handy three-in-one device including a screwdriver which I kept on my 
key-ring"
The story is set in the mid-1920s.

Any idea what the other two tools were?  I am guessing a bottle opener, 
since he was a young man and that would give better torque on the 
screwdriver. I thought about a knife blade, but it seems like he would 
carry a pocket knife.
