Nice find, great to see one more saved.
Is it marked R&W or F&W? As Rob said, Frost & Wood Company "was one of the largest manufacturers of farm implements in Canada. They were the largest munitions manufacturer in Eastern Ontario, producing hundreds of thousands of hand grenades and artillery shells." R&W may refer to R. and W. Hawthorn, Leslie and Company of St. Peter's, Newcastle-upon-Tyne (usually referred to as Hawthorn Leslie), a shipbuilding and locomotive manufacturer?

The last Canadian limber I had was built by Richardson Road Machinery and had slight variations on the steel fabrication.

Frost and Woods
Attached is a badge from the Smith Falls Frost and Woods plant which could trace its history back to 1839. Prior to the war the company was engaged in manufactured farm machinery and is perhaps best known for its wartime contract to produce 100,000 of No. 36 Grenades a month. The company closed its doors in 1955.
