Possible hippie left yhis in barn ?

Old alcohol blowtorch:

It's an alcohol fueled torch. Electricians would make solder splices in old "Knob and Tube" wiring (usually in the attic space) the days before Romex" and "Scotch-Lots" and then wrap the splices with black fabric (bicycle) tape. Junction boxes for splicing were not used at that time.

used carbide to create acetylene gas

It looks more like a gas molecule exchanger that measured unused powder residue?

What on earth is that!?

It's the deep thought I achieved from my hippie days. Lucky for me it was just a phase.

But he has Bud Lite!!!

I don't care if he has milk and cookies and your Santa! Don't go in there!!!

It' obviously a device to keep your cigars from drying out. They just left it in the box so it would not get lost. It' also antique because I pay a little higher price today for Rocky Patels or Partegas.

The Padron #26 could also be considered in the line up for a smooth smoke.

Ok , but what is it , looks like it has some cotton type material in one side and dark ink ink or some type of filter maybe?
Could be the first tattoo gun , or mini trombone?
It doesn't say Cheech and Chong on it anywhere.

I absolutely enjoy serving up this stuff just to give you all a little
Something to scratch your head over and maybe get some humor out of it , keep the one liners coming!

Only in no. cal. right cornsnank? You know I know
