Mystery strap movement - help needed please.

Any idea who made this? It's 8 1/4" high by 8" wide.

Thanks.

I've never seen one like this...not saying I haven't seen a strap movement...but never seen one riveted like this one. Could it be homemade?

Thanks Greg and Eddie!

I found this in a box under some woodworks parts at that Alabama auction where I bought a whole side of a 20 X 20 workshop

It was just after that when at a drive-through restaurant the girl asked me to speak in English when I gave my order!

I politely told her I WAS English!
