Antique White Manufacturing Co. “Hot Blast” No. 54 blow torch / brazing torch, manufactured in Chicago, Illinois.
Research indicates this style dates to approximately the late 1890s to early 1900s. It has the original White Mfg. Co. / Hot Blast / Chicago U.S.A. identification plate and the distinctive early burner and side-pump setup.
This torch belonged to my grandfather and has been stored in a barn/garage for many years. I have left it in its original aged condition and have not attempted to polish or restore it.
