Default Air- acetylene torch?

I found this torch at the dump. I think that it's air-acetylene, but
I'd like your opinion.

There's no name on it, but the handle is steel and might have had a
sleeve with a name on it. The middle piece is the nozzle, stamped with
a "3". Its diameter is about .013. There was significant carbon inside
- acetylene burn back?

It's curious that there is no shut-off.

The hose thread is left handed.

Thanks,
Bob

You only have part of the torch. The mixer and valve body is missing.

I have drawers full of that sort of stuff..all one-off stuff that
there is unlikely to be parts ever found for it.
