I don't know who made it. One connector that was dirt common, was
that screw on connector with center push against contactor. Seems like
most old amateur radio microphones used to use it, as well as test
equipment.

What was that called ??


That looks like an F connector.


Nope, looks more like a PL259.



Some people would cut most of the center pin off a PL259 and use it
with a 'microphone connector'. Not a good idea, but they bragged about
saving 50 cents on the right plug, by destroying a $1.25 plug.
