The latch holds it open, as in spreading it apart, not to hold it compressed 

Yes, but when it is in the correct position it is pressing against the bottom of spring and the block/lifter, and then the valve SPRING is compressed. 

Flathead design not overhead . . . .

sounds like a good tool to have around.

 I never know what I might work on tomorrow.

I'm a firm believer that most any tool is good to have around, especially if it makes your life easier. Even if you use it only once.

 

Or in the case of really old tools, if just looking at them makes you feel good!😃

Looking at or purchasing tools always makes me feel real good.

British Whitworth wrenches. A realm of their own. BSA motorcycles had them among others.

One of the people on tour with us this week brought this tool along. Nobody knows for certain what it is.

 

Best guess so far is a sheet metal dimple/drill/tap tool.
