Hippie barn find ?

furnace/boiler pilot light match holder tool ?

Hearing aid? Or timing light for flux capacitor?

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.

My dad had one of these. It is a mini torch. You put alcohol in the larger tank and as the flame heats the nozzle on the other tank, it blows a very fine stream of air that entrains the heat of the flame. You can use it for jewelry or other small soldering tasks. I don't remember if I kept my father's, but after many moves I could not put my hands on it even if I wanted to.

It's just an old lighter. Sold in junk classifieds in the back of magazines half a century ago.

Cool! Betcha that'd work real slick for perfectly toasting marshmallows indoors on rainy days too

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