Given the originally red colour, the slender shape and the mounting, it was probably a gas bottle for acetylene. The valve is missing. The text mentions “Duisburg”, probably the location of the manufacturer.
EDIT: Acetylene bottles have thead for a protective cap. So my next guess is a fire extinguisher.

Acetylene and then you jump to fire extinguisher.

We played with the contrast of the picture and we think the first “u” looks like it is actually an “M”. 🤔
No, it’s lower part is missing. Same for the
B. The text says~G?S DUISBURG. I can’t decipher the name of the company completely, probablyRHEINGAS.
