    It uses kerosene, you'd have major explosion with petrol (gas). I used to use one for paint stripping. Possibly 1950s?

    Most of them here work fine with gasoline

    They generally sell for $5-10 in good condition

    I'd call it a blow lamp, by the way.

    I assume with gas you do not use the pre-heater.
