Both correct, it's a boot puller.
>246 Portable oil painters kit...
Most popular guess so far, the owner of it has these thoughts concerning this idea:
"It's not an easel because if you look at the top the two pieces of wood cross like a teepee and they are fixed, not adjustable. Also, there is no evidence of paint or oils in or on the box."
So it's probably something else but I suppose it could still be an easel, though a poorly designed one.

238 is a can opener issued with K or M? rations. I used them in 67-68 in army. All the meat, fruit, desert, etc., came in small tin cans. The small hole allows hanging on chain with dog tags. The notch goes over the rim of the can and the cutting edge is turned in, twisted out, moved 1/4" or so on the rim, turned again, etc.

Still looking into this idea, know of any web sites that could verify it?

Probably, haven't been able to confirm where it came from.
