Developed by John T. Duket as a “container opening tool,” the device was patented in 1925. Both John and his close relatives had a number of patents, including an ignition device for automobiles for Willys-Overland, an oil burner, pan holder, wall hung can opener, and other items. These inventions show how small entrepreneurs helped to build Toledo during this period.
