Thanks to my dear-old-dad, I'm continuing to learn more about blowtorches than I ever thought possible. LOL! This torch has been cleaned and polished and is ready to highlight your humble home! This blowtorch is a great piece of Americana that would be a great addition to anyone's household. I would keep it in mine, but I still have well over 100!
The No. 325A Quart Size Pump in tank multi-flame torch is made with a steel tank, painted in bronze. The pump is also made of steel. Burner is of bronze metal and has the open-type generator that injects air which mixes with the gas, producing a powerful blue blast. This comes straight from my dad's collection and is a "David E. Kolb" masterpiece!
Carefully researched and restored to how this might have come out of the box! Steel oval tank, cast iron drip cup, and red tank handle. Marked with Clayton and Lambert shield on the front of the tank. Number 325A on the pump handle.
This is a beautifully reconditioned antique blow torch. My late father passed away in early 2020. Collecting and restoring these items was his passion for as long as I can remember (I think he had over 1000 at some point)! He spent the time to ensure everything matched the original manufacturer. My photos do not do justice for how well this looks!!! I am slowly but surely selling off the majority of his collection to those who would appreciate them most.This torch stands 12" tall and 10" long from nozzle to handle. All original parts.
This torch has been completely taken apart, cleaned and inspected. I have not attempted to ignite it myself or leak check it, but knowing my dad's eye for detail, believe this is in good working order.
If you would like to know a little more about Dave, simply "Google him" and the words "One Man's Treasure" in the Austin Daily Herald and you'll find a humorous article about his collecting.
