Hot press part

I bought a big lot of letterpress items and this was included. It’s a form for a foil stamping press but I don’t know what brand or what exactly this is called. Chase? Die holder?
It is 2 3/4” wide, 4 5/8” in length, and 1 7/16” in heighth including the 5/8” base.
I’d appreciate any help in identifying this part.
Thanks
