This vintage Primus No. 857 brass blow torch, manufactured by B.A. Hjorth & Co. in Stockholm, features a classic solid brass fuel canister alongside its original wooden handle and adjustment knob. The piece is in well-preserved vintage condition, showcasing an authentic, aged patina with light surface wear, minor scuffs, and some superficial tarnish on the brass work. The stamped manufacturer lettering and upper valve controls remain highly legible, while the burner components and iron assembly carry heavy, honest oxidation and surface rust consistent with age. Additionally, the wood handle remains structurally sound, showing typical weathering and minor cosmetic charring near the base.
