Who "knows" old/ vintage plumber's torches?

I can see they'd be unhandy in tight places. Of course I wanted this one for a different purpose. I made an offer on egag and bought the two spare tips for 10 bucks. Unfortunately they are the same size LOL. I had an air-acetylene torch found on Phakebook Marketpharce this summer but the seller would not cooperate. I have a flip phone, so this smart phone messaging **** does not work outside of the house/ my laptop. The trip was 25-30mi one way, so I was not about to drive off into the sunset with no phone number.

Tell me again guys HOW DID WE USE TO communicate, back in the old days? Didn't we use PHONES?
