Is it Real? Table Crane

I have a table crane here that I feel is European as it came with a Pathé phonograph. I can tell the setup is old but is it a one-off or commercially manufactured? Love to hear your opinions. I could not find it in a Pathé 1903 catalog. It is a beautifully made piece.

Thank you.

In my view, it's a made-up piece, albeit very nice. Appears that the rod may have some cadmium plating on it?

Thanks Jerry. No idea of the type of plating. The crane rod is old. The whole thing fits together so perfectly which is why I'm not sure.
