Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

    Thanks so much Daniel and Jan, that is all very interesting and helpful information. I know that there are some folks out there who like things "old school" and there are probably some old model boat enthusiasts among them, so maybe I can eventually find a home for the old burner with someone who can really appreciate it. But I have enjoyed playing around with it as an antique curiosity, regardless.

    Coincidentally, another much smaller and newer burner came in the same lot with this one (see photos below). I thought that this newer burner might be a Saito, but it is not marked (I don't know much about Saito aside from seeing them on e-bay). It just uses standard butane fuel (at least that has worked so far), and produces the same type of long flame jet as the TMY in Jan's video, works great! I don't really have any use for it as a steam model burner, but it works great as a small blow torch, so for now I will just keep it for that alone. Any idea what brand this one might be?  Thanks!
