Basement find

[Joe t]

I found this cool torch in a basement of an empty house, it was on the top shelf in the back.

Awesome find. I know the feeling. That will now look cool on your shelf.

Great find Joe t! With a little cleaning and wiring, and a "flicker bulb", these make beautiful "steampunk" lamps....cheers! Sub

Nice find!!! Congrats!!! Have You tried it out? Bet it still works. In good shape.!

 

[Joe t]

Haven't tried it out yet but it sounds like it still has a little fuel in it.

I’ve seen those in antiquity stores. Nice find.

These were filled with volatile fuel and then the little plunger pump would be used to pressurize the fuel which would come out of the nozzle as a vapor, still not sure how these things didn't simply explode once the flame was lit. Nice find!

Nice find. I'll bet a lot of people don't know what those kind of torches were used for.

Yeah, I wouldn't try and light it in the house, if at all!
