Restoration: Rusty Giant Advertising Flask and Clock - Old Mr. Boston
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июн 2024
- Towering at almost two feet tall, this hunk of rusty metal began life as an advertising display and clock, shown off in bars and liquor stores in the years following the repeal of American Prohibition laws.
Heavily rusted inside and out, with a clock that was also rusted to a standstill and suffering from a broken mainspring, old Mr. Boston had probably given up all hope of ticking with life again, much less receiving a new set of clothes that garnered the looks of admiration that he was used to getting.
Watch as his old skin is abraded away, new fillers are added, his timepiece is miraculously brought back to life, and his flask home is made beautiful again.
Featured in this video: bead blasting and rust removal, ultrasonic cleaning, metal filler, powder coating, sign painting, mechanical clock repair and restoration.
This is a 100% authentic restoration.

Thanks for fixing our old bottles.
I felt genuinely worried when I saw the clock face, imagining the state of the insides. Then I remembered the precision and care you gave the register and the slot machine, and I relaxed.
Реставрация таких старинных предметов требует огромного умения. Уважение Мастеру!

After watching the start of this I thought it was going to be about the size of a normal bottle but it's huge. Great job, turned out brilliantly. Liked and Subscribed
I was surprised when he took it out of the oven 😂
It have probably been the clock in a bar or restaurant. Very nice restauration 💜
Same I was surprised when I seen the size then realised it’s just a promotional display bottle.

Комментарий в поддержку канала и ролика, а также труда мастера реставратора.
благодарю вас!
Well done. Anything with a clock is beyond my skill set.
Thanks - I will admit clocks have beaten more often than I’ve had success!
Parabéns perfeito 👏👏👏.
Sehr schön weil auch in Deutsch kommentiert, Danke!
Sie sind der erste, der sie erwähnt, danke! Ich nehme mir gerne die zusätzliche Zeit, um sicherzustellen, dass Menschen auf der ganzen Welt Zugang haben.
Nice.
Super restauration cette bouteille est immense mais il faut avoir des notions d'horlogerie pour savoir et pouvoir réparé ces petits mécanismes, vraiment beau travail de sauvetage, merci d'avoir partagé. 🙂👍👍👍 Nathalie France Normandie
Merci beaucoup... pour un non-horloger, j'étais assez excité de faire fonctionner à nouveau l'horloge.
If I may…I’d suggest a collaboration between multiple other RUclips channels. There are very respected and revered clock restorers. Something like this, it would bring viewers from multiple viewer preferred fields. You’ve done a great job and I must say I didn’t truly recognize the scope of this until you put it in to have the powder coat heat set.
Super
That's the bee's knees 😍
Rio de Janeiro- Brasil. 👋👋👋
Parabéns, São Paulo, Brasil
you very very profissionnal restoration ❤️👍😍
Quedo muy bien,fuera resaltado la figura del sr Boston con pintura dorada
Me di cuenta de que había algún tipo de resaltado cuando miré fotos antiguas, ¡gracias por la información!
A+
You can this an unusual clock. At least it's not made out of glass.
I don’t understand what you sprayed on it? It looks amazing how it turned out!
Good jop you the best
Good hợp👍👍👍
So Shiny.
Nice. I could never do that, latest when painting the numbers I would have written the chinese recipe for fried noodles on the clock face...😄
👏👏👏
Отлично 👍
Why are you trying to be like everyone else? Be yourself, I love your BOM REVIEWS!!!!! Boo to ASMR (Bom Reviews = "BAG OF MYSTERY")
I wish you would of shown the complete rebuild of the clock
Finally found Christmas present l am sure Pat doesn't have.
Good work. But looks better old.
Класс 👍👍👍
Представляю, как они гремят ночью! Нужно наполнить корпус монтжной пеной.
Suggestion: It might be a good idea to start checking these old painted projects for lead paint. You might already test but don't remember seeing you test for it
good job🇵🇰
Хорошая работа. А внутри корпуса ржавчину чем убрали, и чем покрасили?
Продукт под названием Naval Jelly. На основе фосфора.
At 10:30 is that dark ambient or some machine at work?
Excellent job you've done on this, but I can't help thinking conservation not restoration would have been the best route for this job, it had real character in it's worn state. However you did a excellent job on the movement.
Wow that was bigger than I thought it was going to be! I wonder if this spirit is still around?
It looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!!!
Enjoyed the video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you! The brand has been bought a few time but does still exist, now called "Mr Boston" and featuring a younger man but with the same funky hat.
Sir this is amazing. I work for Mr Boston brands. I would like to know if this item is for sale?
Thank you! I reached out to your company and got no response. Contact me via the email under the About section of my channel.
And this is good old Boston,
The home of the bean and the cod,
Where the Lowells talk only to the Cabots,
And the Cabots talk only to God.
1010 Massachusetts avenue .... Its a city building now
I think Mr. Boston should have been painted too, he's kind of lost.
Can I ask where you got it from
I saw it on Craigslist for $30 and it intrigued me - I was stunned when I saw it in person, it was a lot bigger than I expected.
That is an ODD object!
Las jaulitas piñones deben desarmarse y pulir cada barrita
👍👍👍👍
Would those have been the original colours.??
As best as I could tell. But later, I saw some that were in better original shape listed on eBay and it seems like the black might actually have been dark brown.
🌻🌻🌻
Must be four times the size of the actual bottles.
Just set the clock to 5 PM and let it go!
Вы мастер - золотые руки. Но часы - это художественная безвкусица.
🙏👍🤗
👏👏👍💜
Can we your face see please🙏? Thnx so much Sir! Greetings to🇹🇷 👋👏
Naval jelly? Cuz the navy makes it or cuz it comes from belly buttons? Lol
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✨🇧🇷
Работа проделана хорошая, как реставратор-он прекрасен. Но надписи сделаны очень убого, следовало бы пригласить профессионального художника с твёрдой рукой.
Schade der Charme des Alten geht leider völlig verloren.
Please sir I implore you to leave the patina and stop covering it up. Make it original. Literally the only thing you're supposed to do. Why yes it does make the piece look new you want it to look as it should if taken care of today. No plaster anymore please. Make it original not new
