Its truly amazing how you start with an item covered in 50/50 iron oxide(rust) an copper sulfate (verdigris) and end up with a shiny brass lamp
@@TheRestorer Imagine being so dim-witted that you don't understand that someone just roasted you to a nice 415 degrees
@@TheRestorershould try white vinger next brass project works really well, and I usually use polish with fine steel wool then microfibre for final finnish, personally find takes abit longer with dremel and can leave marks although only tried it twice.👍
I'm not into too much theatrics in restoration videos. Thank goodness you don't have some annoying music in your videos.
It seems more and more you tubers are putting music over what they are doing. Its so annoying
Either they have started making videos ~ most of these assume that we don’t want to hear their noise and put music over the original recording 😠, or they are committing fraud and don’t care about how the video is presented ~ that the hoodwinked watch it and see the cash-cows (advertising) and the money laundered from them 😡
10 because you kept the obviously uneven part near the fire outlet as well as the scratches in the lids. The battle scars of the lamp during that time are well presented and appreciated. Kudos!
Great job 🤩👍
@TheRestorer thanks for the lesson and no annoying music!
Just one question. How do you get Rust or iron oxide on something made from brass, as one cannot transfer to the other
I do not know. brass oxidizes and changes color if it lies in the ground or among scrap metal for 100 years
Great work 👏! Keeping it as original and like new as possible while saving its "used" appearance. 10...
I give you a 10 as you and other great restorers do such great work, especially to very old and historical things.
THANK YOU.
Simplemente lindo y hermoso trabajo, saludos desde México
Came out amazingly, another 10
UA-cam is the only place I ever saw brass rust. The washers would be leather.
Desde Perú k lindo trabajo haces admirable
My favorite old, very vintage item's, some ancient too is basically the best, I do enjoy watching such incredible restoration video's such as yours I give this video, other's a definite 10/10 for sure. It's asmr but in restoration gotta love it.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Indudablemente la restauración es un arte que respeta y enaltece los artefactos que nuestros mayores usaron en sus épocas pasadas cada artículo restaurado es un recuerdo de cariño para ellos y agradezco de corazón a quien ejerce esta tarea desde argentina un abrazo a cada maestro en esta profesión
Perfeito! Ótimo…..Uma arte…
Beautiful work a 10 for sure.
Why was there rust on a brass item? Seems a little fishy...
This is corrosion. And particles of rust spilled over from other metal things that were near the lamp
Fabulous! ❤❤❤. 10!
Excellent 👍🏾
You must get all these items from the same place... all the rusting and oxidation looks the same.... 🤔
Amazing.
I have a few reservations - it's a nice thing to chemically remove the oxide layer from the brass sheet and polish it to a high shine, but in the case of this lamp, I'd opt not only for surface cleaning, but also for opening it by unsoldering the bottom. This would allow me to unsolder the burner tube as well, clean the vessel and burner of unsightly solder deposits, smooth the warped top of the stock vessel, and re-solder the burner tube properly so that it is guaranteed to seal. Someone must have dropped the lamp in the past, or something heavy must have fallen on it - and it was corrected in a rather humbuggish way by simply bending the burner tube to an approximately vertical position and re-soldering it in an unsightly way. This is evidenced by the significant deformation of the top of the vessel just below the burner and the thick and irregularly applied layer of solder between the burner and the vessel. This may have occurred just after its manufacture in the aforementioned WW I, but it would be worthwhile to return it to its truly original form - if it is to be restored, it should be to the condition of a new piece, not with the preservation of significant appearance defects. And pouring lighter fluid into a lamp is a pretty dangerous thing to do if kerosene was originally intended as the fuel - it needs to be distinguished. The original rubber gasket around the pour hole might not survive the petrol mixture without damage, although it would withstand kerosene without significant change. But then again, it is true that lamps in the form of a similar torch made from a modified fired brass cartridge of around 50mm calibre fitted with a fabric wick and with petrol as fuel were used as a source of light and especially heat even in the trenches during WWII - they were perfectly common on both sides of the Eastern Front and with partisan units in Europe, as ordinary petrol was easier to obtain from vehicle supplies than finding kerosene usable only for lighting.
Thanks for the advice. I wanted to leave the lamp in this condition. I did not know that they could be made from a 50 mm cartridge case
@@TheRestorer You misunderstood me. Your lamp is made of brass sheet directly as a lamp by a craftsman - a plumber or a blacksmith.
BUT - during the wars, in principe identical lamps were made "on the knee" = DIY by remaking suitably shaped objects with different purposes into just such a simple "torch".
So one took "something" that was already shaped like a container and there was no need to press a flat flat sheet and roll it into a round, when such objects were easily obtainable in the form of empty fired cartridges for the then very widespread class of anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns, one just added a lid or some sort of holder with a wick and the lamp was ready. All you had to do was pour in freely available fuel - almost all military equipment ran on petrol at the time, diesel became more widely used during WWII in the form of Russian T-34 tanks - and you could light and heat ...

Rate you from one to a 10? how about 106. Love love love it. Absolutely amazing. To bring some thing back to its original beauty is wonderful.
Świetnie jest to odrestłrowane ta cała lampa naftowa pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku 👍👍👍👍
Благодарю! Конечно, 10. Альбина из Уфы.
Very nice.
I give you 8 because it's a nice restoration not too complicated.
very good Congratulations ❤❤❤
Maravilha👏❤
8/10. Nice job and I’m pleased that you kept the history - scratches and small dents. However I question the highly polished finish, I preferred the brushed brass finish just prior to polishing which felt more authentic.
With all that polishing, I was expecting a genie to come out of it 😀
This was a fabulous restoration. I'd rate it 10 ☺️
Just thought replacing those rubber rings could have been better.
Subscribed & liked ❤️
This restoration was magical. Fascinating watching a rusted lamp emerging into a beautiful polished piece.
I would rate it a 10
And thank God there is no music.
I enjoyed watching this restoration video. I like the lamp, and is worth a solid 9.5. Question for you. Does this model of korosene lamp have any glass topper etc? I would definately like seeing this lamp with a top piece, but overall it came out fantastic.
I am wondering why the bottom of the lantern wasn’t rusted at all ??? And the rubber washer was in perfect shape that is strange after 70 years doesn’t rubber break down? Just asking…
I was also surprised by this, but I read that rubber and plastic decompose in nature from 100 to 450 years. I read it on the Internet.
@@TheRestorer What about the bottom of the lantern ??? It was spotless hows that possible without reading it on the internet
@@johnrula it's fake,blueish rust doesn't exist anyway,look at a video about fake restorations, I'd say 40% of restorations are fake. Also rust happens everywhere, meaning if some where is spotless, it's also fake
@@yrbc I agree this has to be a FAKE. As the bottom was stopless and he wouldn’t say how that was possible…FAKE 0 out of 10 for nothing
the exact same lamp was found at a flea market in excellent condition. I thought it was from World War 1. So it was used in the trenches. At first I thought it was homemade. but when I saw your video, I realized that she was not the only one. an interesting thing, it runs on gasoline and kerosene, and on alcohol
Great work here as always! I was thinking that this might have been a medic's lamp as gauze was being used as the wick. Regardless, super cool!
How come all of these videos start with something solid brass that looks "Rusty" when brass can not rust?
itt was dug up in an excavation. that 'rust' is hardened dirt. its not rocket surgery
@@brapamaldi7666 It is artificial patina from a spray can. Can be bought at any craft store genius
Yes, brass does not rust, but after many years it can become covered with corrosion, plaque, and oxidize
Why was a brass container rusty? Help me out here.
Yah I was wondering that also! There are ALOT of FAKE restoration videos on youtube , I also asked why the rubber washer was perfect and the bottom SPOTLESS???
looks like more than a few hundred years old!
Not bad ,I can't give you more than 9, you missed few details...anyway good job !!!👍👍👌👌
I would rate your restoration as a 10 and, You Tube a ZERO for sticking 10 pop up ads in an 18 minute video!
Imagine how much time you'd save with a real buffer. Restore an older grinder and there you are.
mission passed respect plus🎉😍
@@TheRestorer I guess you remember my request for that vintage bike's restoration😅😅
"It's a long way to Tipperary, It's a long way to go..." 🇬🇧
@@TheRestorer "It's a long way to Tipperary", a WW1 song. The kind of song that the original owner sang or listen.
Bombastische Arbeit 10,10,10. Ich würde auch gerne wissen wer der Hersteller ist? Bernd Frankenland
10 😊
My God...that was a slow burner (pun intended)...i thought there was going to be a part 2 😂
Al bronce despues de pulido se le da una mano de laca o barniz para que no se oxide
That...was an excellent restoration of a pretty rusty WWII lamp. A lot of time spent to make it 'shine''...and work as it should.
Very cool... Kudos to you...!!
Was there any particular procedure for cleaning the inside of the fuel tank as part of the restoration?
I cleaned the middle with gasoline. This process was not shown in the video. You can't stuff the camera in the middle)
You rubbed it so much, and still no Ginie. 😒 Beautiful Job! Thank you for restoring hystory.
10. I wondered about the rubber gaskets. One seemed in bad shape (top of lantern). Is it bad form to replace anything? Did every soldier get one or just upper ranks? Being lazy since I can google 😊 18:45 From SF
Hello! Thank you!👍😉
What restoration would you like to see in the future?🙂
So weird there was red rust on a copper/brass lamp??????
@@TheRestorer You think I don't know the difference between rust and corrosion, in 2 video's i have seen from you you artificially rust brass objects, there can NEVER be red rust on brass objects, hence my initial remark!!
Rate my work in the comments from 1 to 10.😉
I am very interested and important to know your opinion.🙂
