It's only about a foot long, I can't post another pic (can I!?) but it's clear that the threaded pipe at end fit into a gas source!. And the extended pipe inside the case has a number of small holes for the flames to come out through the escaping gas!.
But --- what was it used for!? Too small for heat!. the extension may have been to hold something for melting - like to melt lead!? I ask that as I did inherit along with this a bunch of small lead printer's blocks from last century!. Anyone who can give a positive ID, hopefully with a link that will show the same or similar!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
