Bernzomatic torch id

[antman213]

I picked up some torch accessories today but 1 in particular I can't find any info on.
It is a Bernzomatic propane torch with a lever on it.

Also there is an acetylene torch that is all brass which is quite nice but no makers mark.

Has anyone run into these before? Are they anything that shouldn't be put into use?

the acetylene torch is similar (I think) to one I have in a box of acetylene parts I bought some years ago . It's basically a plumbers torch , minus the regulator . prinarily for for "B" or "MC" acetyene tanks

I have a propane torch with the same type of lever handle that I use all the time. Mine's made by Turner. It really blows out a large, blue, flame, a good inch in diameter and 2-3 inches long. It's great for heating and bending steel, and I also use it to start fires in my woodstove.

I found something similar but not the same by bernzomatic, it has the same patent numbers but appears less refined.
Wish this thing had a model number, so much other info stamped into it but not identifier lol

As stated earlier, small torch runs Acetylene by itself, no Oxygen. Often referred to Air-Acetylene Torch. Still sold today. I inherited one from an Uncle. Knowing it was 50 year old hose etc, I returned the bottle to a supply house and discarded the torch and hose. On either, I would consider replacing any rubber seal (typically a 2- series O-Ring) on the Valve. Then enjoy using them!
