Reply:From a 1947 trade journal: For more than 30 years, K-G Welding and Cutting Company has manufactured welding and cutting torches and ... Now, as a subsidiary of Air Products, Incorporated ...Looks like the name was changed to K-G Equipment Co. in the 50's.

Reply:I have a K-G combination torch showing manufactured in Allentown Pa (home of Air Products i think)  but has cutting attachment only.Older ads for K-G show New York as home town. It is a very nice, compact torch.probably made after WW2.
Reply:If you search through the old welding related books and trade journals that Google has scanned (out of copyright - full text), there's all kinds of fascinating stuff from the 1920's and before.  The old ads are a hoot to read.  Some of the old companies disappeared, some were absorbed by larger companies and others still prosper."USMCPOP" First-born son: KIA  Iraq 1/26/05Syncrowave 250 w/ Coolmate 3Dialarc 250, Idealarc 250SP-175 +Firepower TIG 160S (gave the TA 161 STL to the son)Lincwelder AC180C (1952)Victor & Smith O/A torchesMiller spot welder
