Hi Nicky,
In new-like (unfired) condition they seem to go for about $30 on ebay. In decent condition (paint flaking, but no dents) maybe $20-ish. Add some minor dents and they are $10-20 each. Rusty but repairable so they will still function maybe $10-15.
Add some special property plate and that can drive the price up somewhat.
Nicky, make sure you have an old one and not a new repro, as there is no real collector value in the repro's, making it worth about $10+-ish bucks in good condition as a "user".
If the burner screws in, it would definitly be an original. If it is a 1/3 turn twist, the markings would still have to say "Toledo Pressed Steel Co" to be an original. If it just says Toledo Torch, but not "Toledo Pressed Steel Co" you have a repro.
Rick
