<p>[QUOTE="Rayo56, post: 164015, member: 2022"]It looks like the wood Knob was added to carry it around as that is a wood screw into the knob but soldered into the brass base - Not original to the piece. But carry WHAT around is a total mystery. Looks like somebody made it to serve a certain purpose that they wanted to achieve. Does the other part with the handle with a nut on top come off? If it were me my curiosity would get the best of me and I'd tear it apart just to see what the heck it was before, And with all them extras off of it might be able to tell what it was, kinda does look like an antique item that produces a flame, maybe not a blow torch like Kasper stated but maybe some kind of plumbers torch for soldering.</p><p>That's all I got - good luck!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
