You must be talking about this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sunbeam-Tiger-Alpine-Plastic-Valve-Stem-Extractor-for-tool-kit/332984724770?hash=item4d876fad22:g:r9wAAOSwFSxZ~Mb5:rk:1:pf:0 as an item of the exact name is on Ebay now.
 
The term itself seems confounding. I can only think of two types of valves in a Tiger. The 16 valves in the engine and the heater control valve. Given the engine valve stem and head are one you would not be “extracting” one from the other and surely not with plastic.  I’ve never had the heater valve apart but from its appearance this device seems to have little or no purpose.  Could it be that the word “valve” has an expanded British meaning?  I know they often call vacuum tubes “valves.”  Frankly it looks like a shaft for a radio knob..., or a tool for adjusting old style potentiometers , capacitors etc..

A quick flip through TBON revealed a picture of a Mk II tool kit, and nothing there resembled a valve stem extractor.
