The name Fairbanks is cast into it, there seems to be a curved frame, possibly to hold a bowl or something similar and a strange tippy bird foot-like base. Ideas?

Here's a metal promotional screw specification chart from the Croname company, who specialized in electroplated panels for instruments panels, dial scales for radios, badges, etc., all those metal plates that used to decorate tools and equipment. The name is a contraction of the Crowe Name Plate & Mfg. Co. of Chicago and seems to have started in business in 1942. There was a branch of the company located in Waterloo, Quebec that went by the name of Croname-MacDonald Ltd. The company seems to have disappeared in the early 90s.

Or try this... https://canprotool.com/
