Tim, I doubt that it's anything like a dynamo wrench, First of all, I don't think there are such wrenches, and I'm in that business (I work for GE). But more importantly, Edison didn't make any equipment like that (motors, generators, lighting, etc.) after the GE company was formed in 1892, by the hostile takeover of Edison General Electric by the Thomson-Houston Co. So it seems more likely that it's one of the uses mentioned so far, perhaps a car product. Edison's name continued to be used after his death when Charles Edison sold out to McGraw, forming McGraw-Edison, but nothing comes to mind that it could have been used for there, either.
