Help me identify this torch!!

admin

I have recently acquired this torch from a friend. It was used as a jewelry torch and I am going to use it for some light brazing on small parts. It is a oxy/Acetylene torch.I am trying to find replacement tips. It has a number 2 on it and I would like a larger tip. I can not find anything like it on the web. Any help would be great. The guy I got it from did his training in Europe so it is possible that is where it came from. Thanks,

Reply:I think coldlap is right. From what I could dig up on some european sites the tip seems to be a swaged nozzle. The trouble is I can not find any place in the US to get a tip like this.I am going to email a UK website with a picture of the torch and see if their tips will fit. I think this might be the only way.I do not think it is a smith. Unless it is an old one that they have discontinued. The smith little torch does not use that type of tip. Also the gas lines on the smith do not hide in the handle. It could be an old model though. I am going to do a bit more research on the swaged tip.
Reply:have you searched any jewelry suppliers? that and art suppliers would be a good place to check
Reply:I have one that's very similar but it's outside in a cabinet and I can't remember the name of it. It's something like a mini torch. I used to use it to solder brass model locomotive parts together. The smallest tip gives a flame that 's less than 1/8" long. I have five tips for it as well as a miniature Rosebud. IIRC, Air Gas sells them.
