Nice looking tool! Could be a soldiering iron for sheetmetal work. I started collecting copper irons several years back but have not seen one like this. Thanks for sharing.

In this slightly enhanced view it sure looks like its a tube that is soldered in to the main body.

to heat it so it will cut the wax of the honey comb so it can be extracted in a whirling seperator.
