Eutectic Gauges

[ersatzs2]

My dad just gave me a set of oxy-acet gauges made by Eutectic Corporation. they are massive, chrome plated, and the adjustment is with a large ribbed knob not a T handle. He's been collecting tools for 50 years so I have no idea what the vintage is. I googled them and didn't find any information. Anyone ever hear of them?

Castolin Eutectic was/is one of the leaders in spray welding technology. They produce specialized welding equipment for industrial resurfacing applications.

Their welding equipment is "top of the line", and has always been super expensive. If the gauges are the big two-stage units (made in the 60's, 70's and ealry 80's), then you have one of the best O/A welding regulator sets ever made.

A good dad is a real blessing and a bad one is very much the opposite. I'm glad to have one of the former and hope I'm doing a good job of following his examples.
Here are the gauges.
