Description from the seller

Description:
Fascinating specimen of an antique welding lamp (or burner), produced by the renowned Swedish brand Optimus. This is model 1211, likely dating from the mid-20th century.

Marks: The tank bears clearly visible inscriptions "Optimus", "MADE IN SWEDEN" and "1/2 PINT 0,28 LITER". The adjustment knob also bears the mark "SIEVERT" (another prestigious Swedish producer in the field, often associated with Optimus).
The object is in original vintage condition. It shows signs of wear, scratches, dents and oxidation on the brass and on the iron part of the handle. It has not been tested for operation, but all components are present. Mechanically, the control valve moves.
