Awesome! I like these old things that can run on anything- like these old tractors that could run on gas, diesel,vegetable oil, fat, paraffin oil, alcohol... dammit today I'll screw my car's engine if I use 98 instead of 95 octane gas D:<
These things can be dangerous. Remember, a lot of the seals in the pumps and pressurized parts were made of leather, If you pump one up and light it, those old seals will probably leak, shooting gasoline everywhere. They are more fun to own and look at than to use.
@NamesROverated its pariffin, that has a flashpoint really close to kerosene... and kerosenes flashpoint is really close to diesel... biodiesel works in diesel engines.
The manufacturer is still a mystery. The only markings are a shell (similar to Shell Petroleums old logo) and three letters/symbols in the middle which look like letters from another alphabet.
Now there is a blast from the past. It takes me back to the days before LPG to when these were common. I recall watching my grandfather heating his soldering iron on one when he was soldering gutters and downpipes. They were also useful for boiling the billy for a cup of tea.
Always wondered how one got one of them things going. That one is a real corker. I use to have one but smaller I never got it going as the pump rod was missing
you used corel isn't?

Interesting... never seen a hand pumped blow torch before. Looks like a lot of work to get it going... and slightly dangerous.
