Found this boxful today, they are small sizes, so maybe plumber?

acetylene/air, some call them a B-tank set, was common for Hvac and plumbers. The soldering irons were for tinners. I don't seem to have a pic of the soldering iron for the "B" tank, just a pic of the B-tank.

Hey Skip. Looks like a Prestolite brand.

Cool set!

Love the soldering tip holder. First class workmanship there.
