The #97 tool John offers for sale was stocked by Campagnolo USA as late a 1984 at the Houston warehouse. I bought one as a curiosity at the time. I've seen several over the years and none have been marked Campagnolo.
If it ain't been sold I'd jump on it.......

Dear List;
For Sale,
A very special little Campagnolo tool! This is the double ended wrench that fits the cone flats on the adjustable pulley wheels on the very first generation ( and second and so on for a while) rear derailleurs. If ya got one a doze, den ya need one a dezz.
Excellent condition, blued surface fully intact, extremely minor surface rust on a 1/16 inch area ( I expect fully removable w/ 0000 steel wool and WD40). About 8 cm. long; 7mm on one end and 11mm. on the other. Very thin.
I can't tell you how old this is. I have only seen two and this is one of um. I'm keeping the other. She is NOT marked "Campagnolo" anywhere; as original as far as I know. I do not know if they made them or if it appears in any of the catalogues but this is THE right tool for the job.
Seventy five bucks U.S. currency.
