Not sure whether this is a question for the jewellery crowd or not, or perhaps the welders. We are currently cleaning out a cupboard in a workshop welding bay that contains a lot of old oxy/acetylene gear in it. It's being chucked because of the unknown condition of the seals as well as some of the hoses are looking pretty crusty. There are some odd looking torches in there though and some of them look a little like this. I can't confirm a maker's name although I think I saw analine or something similar stamped on the valve block. Not sure whether it is oxy or air, or what the fuel is (I suppose it could either be propane or acetylene)

We rarely do much in this welding bay besides TIG or Stick and it would not have been used for at least 4 or 5 years, but there may be others at the uni who would very much appreciate it (glassware makers maybe?) if we could identify what it was.

Any ideas?
