Always looking for Stanley planes and parts, Mossberg and Plomb wrenches.

Looks like it might be a casting.
If so, probably not for a lathe or anything in a machine shop.

J. H. McLain of Canton OH is listed in National Builders , 1901, indexed under Furnaces.

MVWC entry says "J H McLain Co Canton, O (made feed mills, horse powers, jacks, sawing machines 1898 to 1922) "

The nickel-plated McLain wrenches came a lot shinier. And yes, these were made by the aforementioned furnace manufacturer.  I remember seeing Weil-McLain furnaces many years ago
