This is an authentic antique or vintage British Monitor No. 52 paraffin (kerosene) blowlamp, manufactured by the Monitor Engineering & Oil Appliances Ltd. in England, likely dating from the early 20th century. Constructed with a heavy brass fuel canister and featuring a robust, integrated brass burner apparatus, a built-in pressure gauge, a hand pump, a control valve, and a ribbed wooden handle, these heavy-duty units were historically relied upon by plumbers, brazers, and mechanics for intense heating and melting tasks. It stands approximately 36.5cm high and is in untested antique condition, displaying a rich, naturally aged patina, surface tarnish, and wear consistent with its age and industrial use. It makes an exceptional rustic decor piece or a standout addition to any collection of vintage tools.
