Is it an O-ring by chance. If so, post the inside and outside diameters and diameter of the rubber section if you have them.

That way someone may be able to identify a part that may not be made for your blow torch but will be a direct replacement part none-the-less.

Look forward to your photo.
PS I have no O-rings. That doesn't mean I can't help you to help yourself.
A lot of O-rings today are provided as rubber that you cut and super glue yourself. I did it with a rubber drive belt for a cassette recorder years ago, not quite as good as a new band, but custom size and it worked for a reasonable time.

I have a couple of those old blowtorches,and the plunger seals on them are made from leather,and very easy to make a new seal.

Could be leather .
Pull it to bits to check properly , often a leather disc with hole punched centrally , soaked in linseed oil for a few days and then shaped into the cup shaped washer you see

I call those 'blow lamps', not torches.

Probably find a whole forum dedicated to them with a goggle search!

Most were paraffin burners, but a few burned petrol. Not many for the latter fuel have survived and in use these days! Tilley lamp era. Methylated spirit pre-warm, to get them going, and probably a nozzle-cleaning tool attached to it somewhere.

It should burn steadily, dependant on pressure retention and how full with fuel the tank is. LPG sent them 'out of date', but they are a good collectible item.

That part in our petrol blowlamp (not sure of make) is made of leather
