Officemaxium, Scriptoium or Pentelium?

It isn't magnetic so it isn't plated steel. It's brighter than
aluminum or a zinc alloy would be. A file proves that it isn't
plated brass. I'd guess it's a soft stainless steel alloy that is
easily stamped and formed.

It isn't tubing, is clearly stamped out of thin flat stock. My
caliper sez it's about .006" thin.

Does anyone know what exactly that metal is?
Is this kind of tubing available anywhere?
