Antique Brass Blow Torch circa 1920

This is a really nice looking blowtorch. The adjuster knob on the torch says it was made by the Otto Bernz Company of Rochester, NY. The soldering iron is marked Grover Nashua, NH. It is in excellent shape, all the parts move, and there's even still original paint on the wooden handle.

There are a couple of small dents in the barrel, and the hanging hook is missing, but overall pretty cool. Unlike the others we've seen, this one has full pressure on the pump and could probably still work! However, we offer this item for collecting or decoration purposes only, and do not suggest its actual use as a torch.
