Looks like a oaktron, by the color, here is anotherone,  I found on line. If you take the screw out of the cover and lift, you may see the oaktron leaf, and a part number

The inner cylinder looks heavy and is welded: looks like the steel back magnetic circuit that takes the magnet's rear polarity back around front to the gap.

It looks similar to the type of speaker that was used in the Scott 800B. A speaker like that would typically be found in a large postwar radio/phono system such as a Magnavox or a Capehart or a Fisher or some other brand name.

The tweeter is too simple for a Scott? It looks just like a Quam 15 inch speaker I bought in 1954 but the color isn't the same.

Will you post any numbers found on the speaker frame. That may help identify who made the speaker.
