  • Hello everybody!🖐 The Restorer is with you again.😎
    I want to share with you my complete restoration of an extremely beautiful, antique and rare gasoline lighter 🔥. I purchased this unique lighter at auction in very poor condition, damaged and rusted. The surface of the lighter has a very beautiful carving, which may symbolize something. I would guess that this antique lighter is over 100 years old. The true origin and its history are still unknown to me, if you know something about this find, please write in the comments! I will be very grateful! The lighter itself is made of brass, lead and metal. During the restoration, I tried to preserve its uniqueness and ancient value. I hope I succeeded. I hope you liked the result!
    Also, do not forget to rate my work in the comments from 1 to 10.😉
    I am very interested and important to know your opinion.🙂
    Thanks everyone for watching! See you!)
    It will be even more interesting later...

    In case you dont know, the tube on the side with the ball and hook is for a "rope lighter". a length of braided natural fibre rope is inserted through the tube, with the excess tied up in a knot below. the hook on the little ball is stuck through the rope partially down and the end is charred. When youre in a windy area or somewhere where a full flame might draw sniper fire, you would pull the rope up, and strike a spark onto the charred end to start it smoldering and light your cigarette or whatever else, then pull down on the rope when youre done, making the ball seal the top of the tube and thus smothering it. If you look for rope lighters, you could probably find the kind of rope meant to go in there and you could truly consider this a 100% restoration of the functions.

      @emilyrobinson6080 Год назад +23

      @@davesmith5656 If youve ever heard the old superstition "three (cigarettes) to a match is bad luck" its related to this lighter's popularity. the time for a match to be lit long enough for three people to light a cigarette off of was enough time for a good sniper to zero in on the light at night and take a shot. a rope lighter isnt nearly as bright since its an ember not a flame and thus rope lighters became popular amongst soldiers in ww1

    My Grandpa had a lighter like that, but it was just round. Did not have the carvings on it. He said he got it in the military when he was about 18 or 19. My guess, that lighter is about 100 years old, plus or minus 5 or 10 year. Beautiful work. 10+.👍😎.

      My parents have one too. I saw one being sold in a war movie about some Berbers who enlisted to fight the Germans in France later in WWII. The lighter obviously was of German origine, also military use. The one my parents have, probably is a forgotten one by a soldier who had his quarters at my grandparent's during the occupation in 40-45...

      One problem with listing brands is locality. Where The Restorer lives may not have the same brand of items as where the commenters live. Aluminum polish is available at most hardware stores in the USA. It is kept near the cleaning chemicals. Vinegar is used as well as baking soda to remove rust in the jar. W-D 40 is in an aerosol can.

    8 for me. I thought it was a lovely job from a very damaged beginning to a working beautiful end. I too was wondering about a gasket of some sort to prevent fuel leaking, (having had one or two leaks in my pocket over the years 'I can testify to it's unpleasantness). Well done I look forward to watching more of your finds.

    I think it needed more of a delicate touch. I wouldn't have used the cylinder of sandpaper on the power tool.

    Мне очень понравился эпизод как вставлять трубочку в аэрозольный балончик с WD40.. . Жалко, что так мало времени уделено этому моменту.. В следующий раз покажите это подробнее минут на 15...
