This cool old blowtorch was originally sold at the department store Montgomery Ward.
Incredible condition for over 70 years old.
Apparently, gasoline or kerosene was used as the fuel source, although I have not attempted to do so.
Use at your own risk, I think it's a neat vintage display piece, sort of steam-punkesque.
The label is still mostly legible and reads:
"Caution: Use only clean, uncolored gasoline, avoid ethyl, blended or treated, high test or lubricated gas as these substances clog the blow torch.
Shut off valve gently to prevent enlarging the orifice. Follow directions.
Ensure all excess gasoline is wiped off torch (before) lighting.
Model 94SBM-6005 A
(Always) use model no. when ordering parts."
