Howdy folks,
I received this nut in a recent acquisition and I'm trying to find out whom might have made it...
As you can see, the sides are perfectly straight and symmetrical and it's got a single cable swaged at both ends instead of the traditional loop. There is one identifying mark on the top end which looks like it could be an "hy" or a "ky" but I can't be sure.
Anyone know whom made this and a possible vintage?

Figured out that it's a Forrest Foxhead.

You could get Foxheads in blue plastic as well. Think about that for a minute. It was the '70s and no one knew anything about plastic.
