43 forum posts 10 photos	Came across this blow lamp recently, its not large and appears to be quite a few years old. Pressure gauge goes up to 60lb /sq inch and is marked Bassett Lowke - still works quite well. I assume this is an old model boiler firing blow lamp? Overall it looks to be quite well made, very solid tank - any thought on how old? The Burner tube is marked Torrid, but any searches on that didn't come up with much. Appreciate any thoughts. thanks

Nick - thats fantastic, thanks for those images, looks basically like it and the right brand. has that Bonds catalogue got a year/date on it? regards steve Edited By Steve Richardson 2 on 20/09/2022 09:11:11
