Tin Makers Cane (8212)
This is one of my all time personal favorates. Probably nobody else would much care about this one. There arn't tin makers today.
The handle contains a alcohol lamp, then a torch with red insulated handle, then a container with different heating tips and last a telescoping pump for putting the fuel under pressure for the torch. Everything fits so well including beautiful patena on brass shaft. Everything else is nickle plated brass. This cane didn't get much use, but somebody spent a lot of time and energy to make it. Circa1890 american.
