W logo trim emblem

I know this is not a tool, but there is a LOT of knowledge on here, so try this one.
I bought this great chrome, cast metal, trim piece a auction. The auctioneer said it was off a VW bus and I knew that was wrong right away.
I guessed it was Willys truck or van. Could find none with this. Then I guessed White truck or step van. No luck. Next I guessed Wurlitzer juke box or speaker. Nope. Western locomotive??  Any guesses?? I would love to know and better yet, see a photo of what it belongs on.

Sometime when I'm researching something I'll get tunnel vision.  Maybe you are looking at it wrong?

I guess I could search Maytag, Merkel, Minneapolis Moline, and Motorola. Who knows???

The Winged W looks eerily familiar.  I'll be thinking this over.

 have you tried Westinghouse ???

or Worthington ???

[superzstuff]

No Westinghouse or Worthington logos match this. It is rounded so as to fit on the nose of something. 10 flathead screw mounting holes.  A plane, boat, car, locomotive or ??????.

 is that a 12 inch ruler ???

Part of Wonder Guy's (the lesser known superhero, Wonder Woman's cousin) uniform?

That is a foot ruler. It measures 15 inches at wing tips.
