    Smith's torches... Help! What are these?

    Had these couple old toolboxes sitting in my garage for quite some time. Nearly got scrapped at one point. I did a quick search today on one of the torches and it seems there may be some potential value here...?
    I tried to figure out exactly what I had, but all of the different torch types got my quite confused. I could REALLY use some guidance on exactly what these are, if they have any value, and possibly where my best bet to sell them would be.

    Some of the torch numbers are:
    Smith's SW206
    Smith's B63 and 66
    Smith's 2CI



    The second box.. I assume its all bits and bobs for welding? Is this worth anything? Its HEAVY.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!!

    Those are Oxy/Acetylene torch tips, some are used for heating, some for welding. I don't see a cutting torch there. The second box is probably filler material for welding joints and the like. The tips in your hand, I've never seen before, but they're probably for welding.

    The torches are worth money, but not a great deal. They might be worth 5-10 dollars each. You'd probably be able to offload them on craigslist, a local flea market, or a welding shop that sells used hardware.

    I'm not 100 % sure but I think the 2nd box is just a box of pins and rollers. I first thought that some were tapered pins and maybe some square keys for keyways.
    Some of the pins have been made on a capstan lathe and still have the nub from the parting off blade on them, so they are unfinished and probably not hardened.
    Some have a point on them and can be used to mark out drill centre holes on castings. Alloy2 bought a set of them not long ago and showed a photo of them. He might have a better idea of what the pins could be from.
    I'd say a machinists workshop 'handy to have bits' bin.
