Picked up some neat old torches.

I was at the flea market today and picked up some neat old torches. Don't think they are for cutting because there is only one hole in the tip. Never seen anything like them.When I unscrewed the head off the small one, there is black soot inside it so it appears they were used and not some plumbing fittings screwed together to look like a torch.Paid $55 for both and am going to hang them in the shop.TOO MANY TOOLS & NO MORE SPACE

Reply:Nice ! Those may have been used to repair large chilled water or heating coils. Had a manufacture tech come out to do repair on factory defects . He had one similar to the top one.
