[AT] Torch kit

[Bo Hinch]

I never lose the purchase of original bottles even though there is a serial
# on each bottle , they don`t go by that , just the owners name .So , when
I purchased the bottles , they are purchased by size only and charged
according  thru the years and truth be known , I would NEVER see the first
bottles I picked up . That is why it is important to keep the original
sales ticket . The company I started out with years ago has changed hands
three times and I have NEVER been ask to produce a copy of my original
sales ticket . See Greg Hass`s response below if I am confusing you .
