If that is a porter's signature, it sure is lousy. 

I have never seen that.

To me it almost looks like a "flying W"
The cylinder has been media blasted once (that I know of), maybe more times so it's really not the best shape :-/

I remember a shop in the day with a similar emblem. To old and drunk to remember who  [|] Started with W, I think.

It's cool Tony! Apparently I got a good mystery cylinder! I love how it runs an I guess the mystery just makes it better and adds to the story :D
