A highly desired Double Lever is the Hootch Owl. This is Richard Smythe's American Design Patent Number 98,968 of March 17, 1936. It is marked HOOTCH-OWL and has the appearance of an owl staring at us. On the backside, one sees two slots at the eyes so the owl appears to be sleeping. The arms also can be used as cap lifters. Smythe also was issued Mechanical patent 2,115,289 on April 26, 1938 for this type.
