I am leaning toward the shop exercise or labor of love theory. It is very nicely machined and the logos are perfect as far as I can tell but I really don't believe that these could be made and sold at aprofit (machining, de-burring, anodizing) I have never seen another but if there are more out there I suppose they could have been made as giveaways for some sort of factory open house to show off machining capabilities as cost is not as much of a factor in that context.
However, this is all simply guesswork as I have no idea who made it or why.
