Lot #89: Vintage Brass Blowtorch / Gas Torch – Industrial Steampunk Decor

Step right up to a little relic from the age when tools had personality and a bit of swagger. This vintage brass blowtorch has clearly lived a hardworking life and now wears a beautifully weathered patina like a badge of honor. Details: • Solid brass tank with attached burner assembly • Wooden handle with metal grip stamped “500” • Adjustable valve wheel and nozzle • Original cup-style burner head with protective shroud • Approx. 10–11” tall and 10” long (see photos with tape measure for reference) Condition: • Untested, sold as-is • Significant surface rust and patina throughout • No obvious major dents; shows age, wear, and oxidation consistent with vintage use • Likely best suited for display or restoration Why it’s cool: This piece looks like it wandered straight out of a workshop from another century. Perfect for: • Industrial or steampunk décor • Man cave, garage, or studio display • Prop use or collection of vintage tools It’s got that “retired but still dangerous-looking” energy. A great conversation starter that doesn’t even need to work to impress. Pickup category timeslot {A}
