This is a large Bunsen burner, type 130, manufactured by Carlisle Machine Works (Millville, NJ, USA), and should be dated to the early 2000s. In 1918, the company was trading as Carlisle Gas Burner Corporation. In 1982, the corporation went through a transformation and changed the name to Carlisle Machine Works, Inc. The company moved from the Municipal Airport to South Wade Blvd. in the Millville Industrial Park, in 1999. As of today, Carlisle is still a family owned and operated manufacturing company. Carlisle Bunsen Burners are manufactured from brass and usually nickel plated.
