Sorry, that looks like a 7trk write ring.

 

[GWguy]

I'm not a guy but would you feel better if I said I think I've seen those before?

Sure!

We still have some 8 inch floppies floating around our building.

Just threw a bunch of those out, along with my complete set of Star Trek on punch cards! 4 boxes worth! That was a labor of love.....
