Clayton & Lambert Blow Torch, 1921 – Turner Brass, Iron/Brass/Wood, Marked
An authentic early 20th-century blow torch, maker-marked by Clayton & Lambert Mfg. Co. of Detroit, Michigan, and dated "4.1921." This piece features a robust construction of iron, brass, and wood, with the burner cap stamped by The Turner Brass Works and bearing a distinctive pictorial trademark of a figure in motion. The handle is inscribed with the number “800,” likely a model or part reference.
This utilitarian tool exemplifies the industrial ingenuity of its time, used historically in plumbing, soldering, or metalwork. Its striking profile and period-specific details make it an appealing decorative or collector’s item for those drawn to early American industrial artifacts.
Condition
Good condition overall with age-appropriate wear. Displays surface rust, oxidation, and finish loss throughout. The wooden handle shows wear and minor cracking, and there is general patina to the brass components. Structurally sound with all original markings visible.
Dimensions
Size (including handle & burner): 10 x 8 x 8 inches
Weight: 3 lbs 6.8 oz
