This just came out of electrolysis and I was happy to see that it is stamped. I tried googling based on what I think it says, but I couldn't find anything on this.... which means I am probably not deciphering it correctly.

To me is says "_ _ WELL" and under it either a stamped "98" or "88". It also looked like it had some other letters that curved from the top of the 8 to the last "L" in what I think is "WELL"... but I might be seeing things.

Any info would be great. They are pretty high resolution, so if you click on them a few times you can get it full sized and zoomed in.

Thank you all.
