That sounds like the mark of Walker & Hall, Sheffield, England.

I know this is a long time after your original question, but as I used to work for Walker & Hall I can add a little more information. The “W” is a date letter, as suggested. Depending on the style of the letter is could either be 1915 ( a “wavy” W) or 1949 (a straight serifless W).
The number 817 is a pattern number.
Hope this helps.
