Does anyone recognized the logo on this Bakelite connector ?

I acquired this component without a phone attached and do not recognize the mark. It is heavy Bakelite in two parts with a brass center bolt. It will probably wind up as a modular converter on the station cord of one of my older phones but I wonder who made it?

That could be an early lightning/high voltage "fuse" of sorts. That's what it looks like, but it could be something else.

I don't know who made it, but I used to run across these connecting blocks all the time working I&R back in the 70s.  You would find them frequently when working in the older parts of town.  This was in GTE territory (Fort Wayne, Indiana) which I think was previously Indiana Home Telephone or something like that.

Jon seems to have gotten it right. A connector block.

Here is the WE version of that block from Page 56 of a WE Catalog on the TCI Library. An open block, no cover.
