Photographing shiny objects is an art unto itself. Try turning off the flash (or putting a piece of tape over it). Another trick is to use a flatbed scanner: put the object on the scanner glass and cover with a towel. Works a treat.

Thanks Carl!  I will certainly try the flatbed trick with a towel

The socket looks like a modern hubcap security tool to me.

No. Security keys don't have symmetrical patterns.

I went down the road of hubcap and wheel lug nut security sockets - I couldn't tie it together.
