Hey fellas; I found this in my box of bits and don't know what it is; it may be a Westone TRS 101 type locking nut a la Floyd Rose. Anyone know for sure?

Looks like your standard locking nut for a tremolo bridge.
I've seen similar nuts on guitars with Floyd Rose, Kahler and even Wonderbars.

Can't help with which guitar it might've been on.

Well, the Korean assembled ones used a FR knockoff called a TRS 101 which did indeed use a nut like this one; my Clippers and Spectrum 2, however, use Bendmaster behind-the-nut stringlocks. :P

Fernandes uses a locking nut that looks almost like the floyd one... just a little bit less wide (doesn't make for the best tuning stability)
