Blowtorch from the 1920 modified to be a table lamp.

The blowtorch is an ancient tool that was used by goldsmiths and silversmiths. The blow torch continued to be in use for plumbing work for lead, copper & cast iron pipe, also for tin & copper roof work in the 20th century. Few collectors realize that in one form or another, blowtorches have been around for about two hundred years. Mouth or bellows activated blowpipes go back at least a couple of thousand years.

This would be a unusual design element for a country house and or for an industrial loft setting.
