Typically "Crown" is said to be B&S. I vaguely remember some much more specific story where a Los Angeles retailer may have used that for a private stencil, but can't dig that up. Can't imagine what strange place this weird little critter might have been born.

The corrosion on that helicon is eery, rusted away like a steel exhaust pipe.
