Dick,Sarpolus A blowtorch is one of those things that is instantly recognized for what it is, even by those who havent seen one before. Produced from the late 1800s into the 1950s, they show up in antique malls and flea markets, and have become highly collectable. Their enduring brass and bronze construction mean that even the oldest blowtorches can be cleaned and buffed to look like new. When shined they are real attentiongetters, and as such they have a following of dedicated collectors. Here is information collectors want regarding blowtorches: who made them, how old they are, what they were used for, which are the rare and valuable ones, how to find and restore them, and how much they are worth. Illustrated with 296 beautiful colour photographs, this book will be cherished by tool collectors and everyone with an appreciation for the inventive imagination. 215 x 279, 296 colour photos ,160 pages, soft cover
