Some blow torch interest?
« on: May 16, 2012, 06:49:26 AM »
I'm a blow torch collecter as most of you know, have you seen these?



There was a rubber tube attached and a refrigeration mechanic would use it to find Dichlorodifluoromethane gases from refrigerants, the color of flame would change.

It's a Turner B-1 Halide Gas Leak Detector. Turner catalog 1939. It's not uncommon but interesting all the same.

It's C02 to carb my beer.

Interesting that this is the one only beer sign in my bar that the wifes wants gone. Well there is one other she is not thrilled with as well. Must be a female thing?? I quite like it myself.

Getting back on topic, I picked up two blow torches this weekend, one was a Turner, but the other's logo was unfamiliar to my neophyte eyes.  Got them for $2 each at an auction

Throw up a picture and lets see what you have.

Batz, check out the far away photo of it on my General discussion thread.  It does have a discernible HM in the logo if that helps.  The Turner is a 3A but there's some sort of mark in between the 3 and the A on the nozzle.
