  • Hello everybody!🖐 The Restorer is with you again.🔥😎
    Restoration of an ancient WW1 trench kerosene lamp. This antique and rare find came to me in very poor condition. The surface of this lamp is all covered with rust and corrosion. It was found during excavations at the sites of military battles. This antique kerosene lamp is made of brass. The lamp can be filled with kerosene, oil, butter, etc. The soldiers used it to light their trenches and keep warm. This thing absorbed all the historical memory of the people who used it and the wartime of World War 1. I have tried to restore this kerosene lamp to perfect condition. I hope I did well. Did you like the result of the restoration? Write how you would restore this antique lamp? Maybe you have some good tips and ideas? At the end of the restoration, we will check how it actually burns and illuminates the room. I don't know for sure who made such kerosene lamps and what year they were. If you have more information, write in the comments. I will be interested to know more.
    Also, do not forget to rate my work in the comments from 1 to 10.😉
    I am very interested and important to know your opinion.🙂
    Thanks everyone for watching! See you!)
    It will be even more interesting later...

    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.

    • @TheRestorer
      @TheRestorer  Рік тому +1

      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 ...

    Why don't you sandblast? Just after washing it with soapy water or rinse with oil?

    I’m trying to understand how you have a rusty brass lamp, mainly because brass doesn’t rust. Why don’t you get something old and Rusty for real and fix that?
