I just picked one up for 12 bucks 'cause it reminds me of the ones my dad had. On the handle the number is either 8001 or 800-1. can  you tell me when it was made , and can I use Coleman fuel in it or should I use regular gas ? (what a cool way to start the BBQ + think of Dad)

The 800's where advertised for sale in 1950.
Coleman fuel is ok or any white gas.

I picked up a Clayton & Lambert 700A yesterday for $20.

It's in excellent condition and even came with the original box & paperwork...

700A is a common torch, although not in the condition you have there. It is a one pint torch first produced in 1941, it's bigger brother is the 600A.

Will do, but I've been looking for one in good condition for some time, so it will probably live on my window sill!
