Large WELDING TORCH TIP with 4 INLETS and a STAND with SWIVEL....I.D. sought

[sandwagon]

Howdy...For the fun of it I post - Anyone recognize this monster tip? 4 inlets and a screw-off tip with about 40 little tubes in tip end.

This torch assembly is about 10 inches long overall at top, the stand has about 7 1/2 x 4 5/8 footprint.

Overall the thing weighs about 8 lbs 5 ozs.

The bottom of the upright post swivels at base. SARGENT named on base only. No 'catalog' or 'serial no.' in blank fields of label. No names or marks anywhere else except OXY n GAS on opposite inlet gates.

Appreciate any intel on this as per name, usage and year approx.

Otherwise I might have to offer for sale as a Hood Ornament for a welding truck.

Happy New Year to all and thanks in advance. (I was guessing a heating tip for a rivet pot)

Looks like it was intended for Glass Blowing or other glass work.

Do a search for sargent glass torch on Google.

It is a glass blowing torch I think, made for heating and forming hand blown glass...runs off propane likely.
Not a cheap item.

E.H Sargent made all types of strange lab apparatus. I'd say it was intended for multiple fuel types.

Mystery solved....i was googling like crazy and never got the 'GLASS' thing going. Now I have found many such type on account of the keywords.

THANKS ....you folks are fast....I posted like 20 minutes ago.

I have another tall one with 3 separate tips on a stand. I'll be thinking that one is for 'no hands' heating.

I wonder why those things have two sets of inlets. Seems like one set would provide all the fuel necessary.

Quoted from someone who knows how to use those things:
"SEE HAS TWO GAS INLETS I use one as a continual low pressure for pilot and tiny work the other inlet connected to a pedal running higher pressure."
