Greetings all!
It's a single head, mahogany shell, reinforcement ring on one side.
The green sticker shows Timp-Tom tuning range. I've not seen these tension rod styles before. Head is a Premier.
So...what is it?
No badge or anything inside.
Thanks!

It looks to me like it is an Orff children's music drum that once stood on legs like a floor tom. Some of these were made by Sonor and the more expensive ones had an internal timpani like tuning mechanism. I have seen them in sets of three or four. Some of the Orff instruments are very high quality but tend to be expensive when new.
It is a Premier New Era timp-tom. Kind of a low end drum but still a Premier. They show up on Ebay every once and a while. I haven't seen them in any catalogs that are available online. They were probably aimed at the educational market. It's a three ply Mahogany shell with a single Beech re-ring. The square holes in the shell were for legs. I will try to find some pictures.
According to this post from 2013 the New Era drums and hardware were Premier's school/educational offerings.

They made single headed snares, three different size timp-toms, tamborines, hoop drums, Fiberglass Timpani, cowbells, wood blocks, hardware, mallet percussion and other items.
There is a current or at least recent relaunch of the New Era brand that has nothing to do with Premier.
How about posting a good picture of the green sticker on the head?
Doesn't look like the head's crimp hoop will take much more tension.
