I'm gonna guess and say it's part of a halide torch (to detect
refrigerant leaks)

Oh yeah, speaking of halogens, a few weeks ago I found the strangest thing
on the street corner (seriously, just laying there) - a half-full tank of
chlorofluoromethane (R22/23? I forget). Any ideas whatsoever to use this
stuff for besides refrigeration? If nothing else, how much is it worth?
(And in ten years? g)

I just had 1.5 pounds of R22 added to my home central air system
yesterday, for 20 bucks a pound for the freon.
