What is this?

[NLevine]

Has anyone ever seen one of these before? If so, what's the intended cooking purpose? I'm not much into the nickel plated stuff but I've never come across something like this before.

Any ideas?

I believe that is an omelet maker

And it's aluminum.

Wagner made them, too:

Cool! I'm also guessing this was a later production item?

Not really, 1930s-40s probably.
