That is an artificial insemination tool for livestock.

Just kidding. I have no idea what that is.
It just strikes me as the kind of thing I don't want to touch until I know what it is.

Interesting find, though.
Somebody here will probably know exactly what that's for (but I'm a clueless city-boy), unfortunately.

Cool. Yes, it's an old blowtorch. This one (sitting on its stand) is by Max Sievert and from the late 1800s or early 1900s:



Generally used for soldering and brazing. Yours looks to be from the same era... possibly a little earlier.

The end of that torch looks like a Nazi machine gun. Gary
