I believe it's an SK. If I recall correctly, the breaker bar in my 1/4 drive SK kit has no markings either.

^ most of those little "T-bars" are missing from those 1/4" drive sets - at least that's been my observation looking through Ebay ads over the last 10 months.
few of them are marked with maker's name, so it just looks like a piece of steel bar stock. New Britain marked theirs. S-K, Indestro, Duro-Chrome, Stevens-Walden, Craftsman: no markings on the "t-bar".
so: they get lost. they get tossed.
best way to find one (if you want to get one) is poke through S-K 1/4 socket sets on Ebay and find something with the "t-bar". there are lots of partial (and complete) sets listed on there.

looks like S-K knurled one end of the piece:
