Over 300 Brass Blow Torches Need To Sell!!!

Please help me! Cleaning out our old acreage and my Dad collected old blow torches in the 70's and 80's. We are in West Central Iowa. I live an hour away and have no place to store them. Is anyone interested? I can't bare to just throw them in the dumpster!

 

Hello and welcome to the board.
I would think that there is value in old torches.

Don't toss them. These are sold items from ebay.

Take the time to do a little research, then either try your local facebook page, garage sale them, or ask a dealer out to the house. Dealer isn't going to give you very much.

 

Most are $5 to $15 dollar items.

At a minimum you should should have scrap brass value.

 

If u can get me a photo, I might have interest if they look usable. I’m not interested in the gasoline type that has a brass canister with handle and pump. If oxy-acetylene type. Might be interested.

 

Welcome fellow Iowan. Must be fairly close to me. WDM here.

 

i'm a second year welder, and a pipeline welders helper for 10 years welding stuff is expensive to buy new , and old used stuff can be dangerous to use . some can be rebuilt and saftied for use
post some pics

 

I asked for photos back on Apr. 23 for same reason, no reply, so I guess the poster is gone. I’m still guessing they are the pump-can gasoline blow torches, not oxy torches. The gasoline types are considered collectibles, the oxy types are rarely collected by collectors.

 

funny...he was here sunday.....maybe he's shy.....or doesn't really want any help...

 

Today price for scrap

 

seriously Terrence........yer name and home address...???????????????????

 

and plate number.....?????

 

Sorry everyone I didn’t see the responses in April! The number of them was overwhelming for everyone so I bartered with our dumpster people. They finally found a new home!

 

Thx but u never even told us whether they were gasoline pump type or oxy-acetelyne. The latter would have gotten u some offers here.

 

There were lots of soldering irons too and they were at least 50 years old with pumps on the side or in the handle. Tried adding a pic but not smart enough to figure it out. That old would they be gasoline?

 

kerosene , i have one with the soldering iron, sits on top, bought it at a garage sale 25 years ago for 5 bucks,added the iron later .

 

Sadly, ebay does its usual thing and sent that link, for me at least, to their NOWHERE-VILLE advertising page, @clutteredcloset49 !!!!!
