Note on Photos: The images provided show the actual vintage kit you will receive. The original Dow Chemical Co. box and instruction manual are included. Because this is a vintage item, the box may show surface shelf-wear, but the torch handle, hose, and tip are unused and in excellent condition.
Safety Note: While this is a high-quality vintage tool, we recommend inspecting the rubber hose and brass fittings for any signs of age-related degradation before first use with pressurized gas.
