My grandfather had one much like that, one day we were going through his old tool chest, the 1st thing of many, he threw in the trash was that light. Upon watching this video I sadly think of what might’ve been. Once again, beautifully done.
Amazing work. Great results. Creative use of the lathe. Great gasket replacement. Beautiful polishing. A masterpiece refurbished with respect and care! Thanks!
This is indeed how torches were made back in the day. Mine was very similar. They were actually not very good, but you revived this one to its former glory. Thank you for the video.
I remember one of these on my mum’s nightstand when I was a kid in the UK in the 1980s. Probably something she picked up in a junk shop so I’m guessing 1970s. You’re right, it never was very good! I was probably 8 before my hands were strong enough to move the switch, it was heavy as hell with those huge batteries, and the beam was pathetic 😂
Thank you very much for your video. You have restoration tools. I am now 63 years old and ı used to use many years ago same torch. I would like to say that there is a large diameter spring inside of bottom part that pushes the the movable part to the battery negative pole. In your original torch this part I mean spring was missing and there was a clock part in this spring hole. Thanks and best wishes.
Very thorough accomplishment Takes some patience ! ;) Only issue i noticed was with how the restoration of the top ring cap was addressed it's not fully original now with no more rib design round the top i understand that was a difficult task to get just right However overall incredible achievement 👏 👌 I'm a bit of a collector of old flashlights 🔦 with 2,500 +
I remember this light for 40 years back when I was a kid , this type of light I'm sure that you can control the constraint of the ligh , small and big ,,
I love the art deco early 20th century style. do you know when, who and where it was made? I really like that back then even simple utilitarian thing like a torch still had to look good and have style.
Does the nickel (or whatever other metal you use) adhere underneath where the wire makes contact with the object, or does it leave a small sliver uncoated?
Loved the video. Never would have thought a simple device was so complex. Talk about watching a craftsman in action. Absolutely gorgeous!

That was the flashlight of my childhood ❤️ In comunism time, in my country, this type of flashlight was the best one. Nice memories...❤️
Holy cow! The number of parts for a flashlight! Sure looked nice after you finished. And making a tool to re-roll the bead... 😲
Very nice restoration. Thank you! My Dad had the silver colored ones during the 50's and 60's as a policeman.
And my father as a former pilot back to 70s and 80s in Olympic Airways 🇬🇷
I love the look of these older flashlights, and the tech history is even cooler. Thanks for the video and well done!
Love the vintage look of the flashlight 🔦.
Nice job, I have several very old torches, I find they are best with non focusing bulbs if you can find them.
Estupenda restauración de esta linterna vintage, saludos y respetos desde Venezuela.💯🤘👍👍👍
yo también cuando niño alcanze a conocer este tipo de linterna antes de q llegaran las modernas

Magnifique Objet 👀
Those are supposed to be brass but look like gold (classic gold and light pink gold). Outstanding restoration.
This is very well done!
Brilliantly brought back to life otherwise would have been lost forever
Thought you might have nickel plated the total exterior of the light.
That's a beauty!
Good ! Very good !

What protective finish over the brass did you use to keep it from turning dark again?
Hello there nice restoration, beautiful flashlight 👍😷

I had this torch back in the 70’s, damn i’m old 🤣

We used to have many flashlights with that design in Bulgaria some 15 years ago!

What liquid was used to restore the shine to the reflector ?

Very Interesting 💙💚
Chique show 👍👍

Very well done restauration! BTW, it's brass not copper ;-)
