Unique Antique Lighter Restoration

- Old lighter restoration. In this video, I showed the restoration of a rare lighter from the beginning of the 20th century. I bought this lighter at an antique store. The seller said the lighter belonged to a sailor. This lighter had many missing parts. I made all the missing parts and polished the lighter. Now it can work for another 100 years. I hope you enjoyed my restoration video.

When you added the missing pieces, it made so much more sense as a lighter. 😅😅
Light it!! I waited the whole video, I’m crashing out!
I felt the same way for a moment, but then he really delivered. 🔥
Fantastic job! 100 out of 10!
Please, don't exaggerate. You mean 10 out of 10.

You did a lovely job but I kinda wish you had left some of the patina on it.
No they didn't. That was a brutal hackjob. It was painful to watch. They destroyed it.
Same. Antique patina is like 99% of the value. Utterly destroyed, what a shame.
he couldn't bc he transformed the original lighter, the spark wheel original was one with the body and it broke , you can see the mark left by the broken piece, so in order for him to repare that scar in the metal he had to sand to level the surface , that means in that area where he has leveled the surface, the shining metal would be visible and it would look awful plus the new sparking wheel it would be shinning too, bc is new , so at the end it would be a carnival .
I'm on the side to let things with its patina but sometimes you can't , like in this case, bc a big part of the object is missing . The good thing is that brass take patina quick .
@@Old-Skull. Agreed. I feel like this particular object needed a second life, not a reverence of its first one.
Spectacular. Craftsman like yourself gives us glimpses of the past. Keep up the good work 🤩
A lathe, mill or drill press might make his life easier, but it’s impressive to see a quality finish with everyday tools. Inspiring for the hobbyist without a full workshop. 10/10 from me!
Positively a 10. Very well done. Exquisite.
I think a Lathe is a good investment for your Channel 🍀
Agree! It’s about time to use one👍🏼
Maybe he'll comment, but I thought he had one 🤔
A truly great piece 👍🏻🙏🏻❤️
A guy like this would more than likely have more than one already
Definitely a 10. There's not many channels I eagerly await for a new video. Yours is definitely in the top 2. Outstanding craftsmanship every time. 👏
I don't think I've ever seen a lighter like this one before. It's nice you brought it back to life again.
That’s a real beauty!!!

Oh, 10! I saw one in a museum in Canada once. And then again in a specialty store in LA, USA. It specialized in unique antiques that all had to do with the smoking industry. They even had a museum attached to it.
Wow! It's small, easy to carry, and truly pocket-friendly. I’d give it a perfect 10/10 for your restoration work. I wish I could have it as a prized possession in my home, but these can be quite expensive.
When you put the old wick back in as wadding, I smiled. Beautiful restoration, though I agree with the other comments which mourn the patina. It'll take some time to build back up to that color and luster.
Incredible job! This lighter looks like it might have been made in the ships machine shop when a sailor had some down time.
Enjoyed this superb restoration. We can almost feel the sailor's hands touching it. I loved the detail (I guess) of including the old internal wick ❤❤❤
I really enjoyed the restoration. Although I must say it did have a great patina. Very nice job. I think I would rate this a 9. Very nice indeed.
That's a 10!!!! Perfect 10!!
So exquisitely executed down to the very fine detail and the making of all the missing parts. You truly are a master and that is the reason I watch your channel! I eagerly await new videos. Superb restoration! 🤗🇦🇺

Beautiful job of restoration.
Clearly a 10 to me! 👌🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌🏻👌🏻 Bravo!!
10: Very nice. It was neat to see the original patina but then also a little heart breaking to watch it go. The finished product was well worth it though.
Definitely a 10
The sounds and the restoration and the video are all amazing quality! 🔥
You should build your own lighter!!!!
This is a really good idea.
Design wise, the classic zippo relay doesn’t have much to be improved, but for something just kind of styling and artistic it’s wide open
This is what they should have done rather than wreck the beauty and unique qualities of the original.
Beautiful.
This restoration was an absolute 10+! Fantastic job and a great video. Thanks for posting it.😊
