  • Hello everybody!🖐 The Restorer is with you again.🔥😎
    I want to share with you a new video of the restoration of a very beautiful and rare gasoline lighter, probably from World War II. I don't have much information on this antique lighter, but it is said to be a US Army award lighter. US soldiers and officers were awarded medals and orders for their exploits and this lighter was added as a memento. Presumably a limited batch made to order by jewelers. This lighter is very unique and miniature. I have never seen such a small and delicate lighter. The lighter is made of brass, steel, and a black material unknown to me (a round black insert) that looks like plastic. This antique lighter came to me in very bad condition. I decided to restore it and give it a new life. I hope you will like the result of the restoration👍😉. If you know more information about this rare find, then write in the comments. I will be very interested to know more information.
    Also, don't forget to subscribe and rate my work in the comments from 1 to 10.😉👍

    I am very curious as to why you didn’t soak the lighter in a rust remover solution first. Oiling it and then prying pieces off the lighter could have resulted in total breakage. It’s also amazing that the lighter was rusted since it was made of brass and or copper. Maybe there was a contamination of iron mixed in with the brass if that is possible. In the end. It came out wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

      You caught exactly what I caught. The metals that the lighter is made of do not rust. And there is also not one bit of pitting from the corrosion. I have a feeling that it is fake rust made for entertainment. Can’t trust anything you see nowadays.

      @@mikedickinson9730 I actually just saw a CZcams video a couple of days ago where they talked about most of the restoration videos being fake. They paint a fake rust product over the metal to make it look really bad. Have you ever watched the restoration videos from Hand Tool Rescue? That guys work is phenomenal. I have an antique deli slicer that he wanted me to send to him but it weighed a ton and I would have had to make a wooden shipping box to send it in. I have a bad back so I couldn’t handle it, it’s still sitting in my garage. I really think you will like the guy.

    This is a WWI Trench Art Lighter. They typically have a coin as a centerpiece which would help determine where it came from exactly. I'm not very educated on this subject, so I could be wrong, but it's strange that the center is just unlabeled plastic seeing as all the others I've seen are made of various coins from the soldiers' belongings. The outcome is stunning either way!

    10 plus. Was the plastic Bakelite? I have a coffeemaker from the 1930s with burgundy Bakelite handles. Thick and sturdy. Plastic won the competition. 18:05

    Watching your videos of restoring old n forgotten antiques is so satisfying. This lighter is now a true beauty. I’m thrilled that I found your channel. To see you give your time n talent in restoring antiques is gratifying. I’m very curious though, do you keep them or resell them?

      This guy DOES NOT RESTORE ANYTHING... HE TAKES A CLEAN ITEM AND COOKS SUGAR AND DIRT ONTO IT, HE DOESNT EVEN HAVE TO CLEAN IT BECAUSE HE JUST SHIWS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE. EFOR HE COVERED IT IN FAKE RUST.. ALL HIS ITEMS ARE BRASS.. BRASS DOESNT RUST!

    Esta peça negra inserida no metal, parece ser casca do côco, muito usado por ouríves e artesãos, no início do século XX. Tenho um broche antiquíssimo feito deste material (casca de côco)... inserido em ouro. Este material é duríssimo e muito leve.

I've worked on many genuine restoration projects , including WW2 plane engines dug out of fields. I know what I'm looking at and talking about.

    What would cause a brass and Bakelite object to corrode like that? I can’t imagine how it got into that condition. Nothing on that lighter would rust, it would only tarnish. And why would you neutralize the acid in the vinegar by adding baking soda to it?
