Looks almost like an old needle-bearing Stronglight I once had.

I think this is the correct answer. Or a Chorus, they looked the same. The Stronglight I thought had a black ring on the top cup and was slightly more flared for the needle bearings. The old 80's campy HS were all silver and beefy like the ones pictured.

Here is a c-record:

You have better eyes than I do. It could very well be either of the above possibilities.

I have an Ofmega with a similar profile to the Campy, but that one's probably the Campy.

Speaking of which...PBK has Record threaded headset listed for $50.

Out of stock right now, but hopefully they'll be back at that price.

Me thinks it might be an "American Classic Equipment USA" Headset. (I also may be wrong) I managed to get my hands on one a few years ago Here are a few pics of mine








EDIT! Never mind, I took a real good look and it appears to be completely different = (
