I'll defer to those with more knowledge of Italian components, but I wouldn't be shocked if the other side of the QR handle reads "Campagnolo".

second tier Italian
back in the sixties and early seventies if an Italian cycle did not have Campag hubs the skewers would be either Gnutti or Brev Stop
have never known a maker for them
AFAIK name appears on no other products
iab is sure to have more and better information for us

gnurling appears it may have been munged by someone going at it with pump pliers
have observed more than one generation of these
do not know years of production
they seem to disappear somewhere in the mid-1970's

1989Pre I have one in one of my yogurt containers full of quick releases. I'm not home right now, but can check to see if it's a front. If so, Doo you want it so you can make a matched set?

FWIW: Sunlite makes both chromed and black steel skewer nuts that are stylistically a decent match for many C&V skewers. Here's a photo, from an eBay listing.
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/BNoAA...kR/s-l1600.jpg
Photo doesn't show the dropout side, but it it knurled - not quite as sharply as some, but IMO well enough to grip. (I own 2 pair of these, so I checked one to make sure.) Mine are the chromed variety; they seem to be fairly well-built and finished.
They're available from multiple vendors on eBay for quite a reasonable price: about $8/pair plus sales tax, shipped, to US addresses.
Not a perfect solution, but workable if you need a set of skewer nuts of that style and can't immediately find the exact ones needed to match an existing skewer or set.
