Could be anything! I've never seen a square-head key like that, I wonder if it's factory or a home-job? The rail though - looks MIJ to me, possibly Star/Hoshino, but I have been known to make errors from time to time...

That was my guess, too. The notches in the bottom end of the rails makes it look as if some type of stand-off would fit into them very much like the Hoshino type mounts. Kenwood speak up! (Not my picture. Borrowed off of a VDF member's post.)

Maybe Walberg & Auge two bolt consolette with lower mount missing? See Vintage Tom Mount article (photo #8) in Vintage Drum Guide. Used by many drum companies, the square wrench may help narrow that down.

MIJ for sure , here is one on one of my sets . This is on a 68 Kent diamond lug set right when they were starting to use some MIJ parts . The rest of the set is US made except for the tom mount and FT leg mounts ...

A crafty Japanese copy or maybe, possibly, W&A? Vintage Tom Mount article by Ken Hart claims the W&A consolette was used by the Kent Drum Co. (see page 1, photo #6). There are some subtle differences but the article says there were some variations. The nuts and bolts should tell the story. MIJ is probably metric fasteners, W&A would be english. The square head nut and wrench seems MIJ to avoid copyright infringement.
