This tool was excellent for providing extra heat when doing plumbing work and dealing with lead.  The hook on top allowed the worker to continue without having to bend down and set the torch down.  This is no 16, with a additional number on head '184', I have no idea what that references.  The tube running in to the body has been soldered, probably due to a leak.  The wrapped stacked leather handle would keep from getting burnt.  11 inches tall, the flame adjusting handle is all metal, and is bent due to the stem is not movable.  Suggesting a earlier model.  

Please read the following information on shipping, offers, terms. 

Please view all  images, we cannot, in text, provide the amount of information a few pictures will tell you. Most of our items are vintage, and will have some wear, the images tell it all. Thank you for looking. If you need more images or information, just let us know.  Regarding BIN items with reasonable offer.  We will only consider offers 60% & above of the current asking price, if it is below 60% we will make a counter offer or refuse your offer.

We are always delighted to pack several items in to 1 larger package to save on shipping for our customers.  In most cases the cost of shipping 2 or 3 items is just slightly more than just 1.  Please feel free to ask any question(s) you may have. We do our best to try and ship the first business morning following payment.. If there is any problem you may have when the item arrives, please contact me first, so I can have a chance to solve the issue.   If for some reason you feel you need to return an item, contact us PRIOR to contacting eBay, whatever the problem is we can work it out, eBay does not provide any help in this matter, I have recently discovered.
Shipping international:  All import fees are the responsibility of the buyer, not the seller.  We are willing to ship beyond U.S.A. borders.  We use USPS International First Class and Priority where there is the possibility of tracking the package.  We are also willing to ship via eBays international shipping. If the package does not arrive within the USPS time frame, we may provide a refund.  If the package is received after a refund has been sent, we ask that you contact us, so I can then send you a invoice for payment. Unless there is damage, which images must be provided, then we will work with you.  The buyer will be responsible for letting me know prior to payment or right after in the notes section, best would be before you receive my invoice.  Any item that is over $50.00 no matter what it is, will be sent Priority International, due to the loss of items that have disappeared. We have shipped using some briar pipes with USPS Priority Padded Flat Rat Envelop with success.  If the item is over $100.00 a signature will be required as well.  This is due to the losses we have had from either the USPS or the postal service in the receiving nation.  If the buyer contacts us prior to the ending of the listing, perhaps we can work something else out, otherwise, that is how it stands, much to our regrets.  We prefer to not use eBays Global Shipping Program, takes much longer to receive and cost nearly identical to USPS.  Please do not request this program, if so, we will cancel the transaction.
             On a final point, if you have managed to get this far with my boring but necessary terms, EBAY
         is great and what makes it so good is the 99.9% of people who do business based on trust and honor.
                                                           This is my commitment to you
