Looks like an old magnifying desk lamp on a cantilever arm set.
The base (not cylinder) is exactly the same pattern as the two I have.

I've never seen a desk lamp that mounted with the 1.25 inch cylinder - is
this possible? Could be an enlarger base I suppose like some suggested, but
the enlargers I was familiar with were pretty heavy and I don't know that
this would hold one - but that is an interesting possibility.
oh, one more hint, but not much of one - the casting says B&J .101 on the
inside edge of the curved part - does that clue anyone ?

Burke & James Solar enlarger. A web search turned up a few pics at:

were you can kinda see the base mounting plate.

Please log in for more thread options outstanding!!!! excellent work, Steve - I'm really impressed - but then
again I was pretty confident that someone would come through.
Don't know what I'll do with that info now, but at least I know what it fits
my hat's off to you (though I rarely wear a hat, it's off anyway).....
thanks.

B&J sounds like "Burke & James" -- a photographic company. It
could support one of the cheap enlargers like I started with, or a copy
stand for supporting the camera above a copy board.
Enjoy,
