    I have to say that the Zippo company is shear genius. Change nothing for 90 years, thus making all of the parts compatible over the years and STILL raking in the dough.

    • @Nasahatapimapetilan
      @Nasahatapimapetilan Рік тому +34

      not all parts are compatible. zippos design changed a few times during the history. some changes were big (especially during the early years of zippo), some barely noticeable. still, not all parts are compatible to each other.

      I think part of the reason they are still raking in the dough, based on YT content, is that people regularly lose them! It is one thing if it is a generic lighter, and another thing altogether for a commemorative one.

Many years later, the 2 of them were watching the movie, "Saving Private Ryan" and at the Normandy scene, right after they drop the doors from the boats, his grandfather had to get up and leave. He was outside crying and he told my cousin, "It's too accurate and real to relive it."

    Beautiful job! I'm old enough to remember when refillable lighters like the Zippo were still the most common. Back then, people took care of the things they owned and took pride in how long they lasted. The Zippo and Ronson lighters were proud possessions for lots of people. It really says something that Zippo is still around even 50 years after the lighter industry came to be dominated by makers of crappy disposable lighters from companies like Bic. Great video.

    Something I know about D-Day is that they had specialized tanks that could act like boats. They added some floatation devices to the sides of the takes to help make them more floatable and added mechanical rudders to the back to steer it. While it may not have been adopted in sea warfare unfortunately, it is still an interesting fact, and the reason why there are actually quite a few tanks under the water at Normandy Besch

    • @RobinHullBuilds

Now stick with me on this one, one of my customers, who has now passed away had a father that was in the first division that also went in on Omaha Beach. He himself fought with the first division during the Vietnam conflict and at some point in time had collected two of the lighters you just restored. I got one, his son got the other when he passed. It originally came with a display case and had a slightly different finish. But sir, you did a great job!

    I post this comment every time I watch a Zippo restoration.
    The actual lighter insert is replaceable and can just be thrown away. It doesn't need to be 'restored.' Only the case.
