I have a tandem w/ two cranks and they are w.h. fauber one piece but they are not the same. but yours could be a newer version ? mine are patent appl. for 1897 granted 1899 . hope this is helpful ? Richard...
Pretty good match above. Also looks also like the Emblem late 20's Fauber-made with the curved center section. Does it have the 2" drive pin spacing? An Emblem bike below.
Emblem (Fauber-made?) I have with 2" drive pin spacing.

In the 1920's, some Westfield bikes sported the Dikeman patent double-D drive crank/sprocket, without drive pins; maybe some others had a 2-piece crank.
I believe that the 2" x 1" crank may be the key; have you also measured the diameters of the threads?
Emblem also used oversized threads; not sure, but do not believe they acquired the feature from George Norman P. of Buffalo/Erie.
Many bicycle manufacturers could stamp out chain rings from boiler plate, but casting or forging some parts (e.g., cranks) required a foundry; capability they may have farmed-out (subcontracted). https://thecabe.com/forum/attachments/screen-shot-2018-01-27-at-11-35-25-png.744159/ https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/toc-colors.118492/page-2#post-836023 (Toledo?) https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/ivel-bicycle.84273/ (Knivel?)
I thought that Fauber and GWM had fairly standard dimensions and interchangeable parts.
Yes, all the pics I posted are Emblem. Try some common cone hardware on the crank. ( AS^^^^^)This would indicate Emblem if too small. That oversized crank thread & 2" drive pin spacing is common on the early Emblems from what I have seen, but I also think that other makers of the same era used this fauber-style diamond crank with the 2" spaced drive pin.
