Another blank ID question

So I keep finding blanks that I bought over a decade ago at the expo. This one has the following:
22mm butt
2.9 mm tip
It's 6'11-1/2" long.
At the butt, the wall thickness is 3.25mm.
The color is black.

Most of the label is gone, but the start of the marking was "WC"

Any ideas?

Do you remember which vendor you bought it from? I suspect they'd know what they brought just about any particular year.

Is it a glass blank? 0.8+" butt, 7 tip, 1/8" butt wall thickness.
