Let's Bring Back the Spark! Restoration of a WWII Lighter
Hello, my dear viewers! I'm happy to present my new video featuring the restoration of a lighter found at the frontlines of World War II in Europe. This time, I came across a brass specimen, but it had severe corrosion. The flint wheel and spring were irreversibly affected by rust. If the lighter had been made entirely of black metal, it would have rusted away completely by now.
I really wanted to restore this lighter, but during the process, I constantly felt as if someone was trying to hinder me-perhaps its owner from beyond. I even considered abandoning the project, but whenever I imagined the restored lighter, it gave me the strength to continue.
After cleaning and polishing, I wanted to coat the lighter with copper, then nickel, and finally gold. However, when I saw the result with the nickel, I immediately realized that gold would not be necessary. I was very pleased with the outcome of my work, and I ask you to rate my effort in the comments from 1 to 10. Don’t forget to like and subscribe, so you don’t miss my next video!

Hello, dear viewers! Today, I have in my hands a lighter found in the trenches of World War I in Eastern Europe. This unique find was given to me for restoration by my friend, who enjoys searching with a metal detector.

Hello, my dear viewers. Finally, I received the long-awaited package with a century-old lighter that I bought at an auction. These lighters date back to the late 19th to early 20th century, so it's quite possible that it's over 100 years old. While it was flying to me from Europe, I had already decided that I wanted to cover it in gold, as bronze tends to oxidize quickly and lose its luster. Du...

    I am in Australia, and back in the 60s early 70s i used to buy them in Woolworths when it was still a variety store, they were very cheap and came in a few different styles, the name Imco stuck in my mind , but never had a picture on them, just coloured cross hatching, thanks for the video.
