territorialmillworks Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 A friend gave me this little torch and I use it frequently for welding leaves and branches. I wanted to see about getting another tip and new 0-rings but neither of the two welding supply shops recognized it. The torch body is about 5 1/2" long and the welding tip is about the same. The strange thing about this torch is the tip has two bevelled rubber inserts that are too wide to have been compressed o-rings. Any guesses as to who made these??? Thx, Keith Quote
pkrankow Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 While it is the size of a berns-o-matic, it doesn't look like one, at least not a current one. The size seems right, sorta. That size is frequently used by jewlers. You can try taking it to a jewlrey shop that makes and repairs jewelry to see if they have an idea. Phil Quote
Robert Yates Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 looks like a Smith or Harris torch body show the tip end that is in the body where the Ferrel nut holds it in place and i can tell you a bit more about it . Quote

Robert Yates Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 I am almost Sure it is a Harris Body and Tip . Sam Quote
Hillbillysmith Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I am almost Sure it is a Harris Body and Tip . Sam Agreed. Harris. Quote
Hillbillysmith Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 An old little guy like that is almost shop display quality.... Not saying it wouldn't be safe to use, i have no idea, but i would clean it up and stash it with the antiques. -Hillbilly Quote
