Default Wale vs Nortel torch?

I won a Nortel torch on eBay and received a Wale torch, it looks fine but
is it a cheaper made torch? I am trying to determine if I got a cheaper
brand, anyone know the comparison of these 2 torches?
Thanks!

Go he http://www.waleapparatus.com/ and look at both. Wale sells
both torches. make your own comparisons.

You may have a Nortel torch with a Wale sticker. Wale only shows one
torch under their name. Find your torch on the Wale site. If it's listed
under Nortel then it's a Nortel torch.

The new Wale burner is better than the Nortel Minor burner in that it can do
the small flame and a larger flame than the Minor. It also costs $100 more
than the Minor.

This is used major/minor that I got for $270 on eBay, I think it's a good
deal, have not test the torch, I feel bad cuz I left a neutral feedback
because it was the wrong brand but the seller could have just said it was a
Wale. Hopefully it's a better torch than I thought I paid for!

If you bought a Carlisle from Wale it would probably have their sticker
on it even though it was made by Carlisle.

If what you received looks like a Major/Minor, that's what it is. Wale
doesn't make a torch that looks anything like it. I have no idea why the
Wale sticker was on it, but if it looks like a Nortel, it's a Nortel.
They're very distinctive. Maybe Wale puts their name and contact info on
every torch they sell; that's not an uncommon business practice, so that
buyers instantly know where to get service.
