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.

[@davesmith5656]

Fascinating little piece of information! I was wondering what the little side tube was for!

[@emilyrobinson6080]

@@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

[@oldscool5222]

Emily you scratched me right where I itched. Thanks.

[@TheRestorer]

Interesting. Where did you get this information from?

[@emilyrobinson6080]

@@TheRestorer ive collected and studied lighters and fire making technology for years, and actually have a few of those old rope lighters in my collection, most are simple tubes for rope with a flint on the side but a couple are ones added onto fuel burning lighters

[@MrStrocube]

This is so satisfying and relaxing to watch. Beautiful work.

[@TheRestorer]

Thank you😉👍💚

[@rlspanky]

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+.👍😎.

[@bernardoirizarry8549]

Absolutely right! I am 74 years old and I have one like that without the carving on it. Mine still in very good condition and like you mentioned, its about 75 to 100 years old. The restoration work is 10. Thank you.

[@TheRestorer]

Cool!) Thank you very much!)

[@ArnoldusTube]

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...

By adding soda to the vinegar you just neutralized the acid which actually does the cleaning...

Adding bicarbonate soda counter acts vinegar the big fizz is not it getting stronger it’s it balancing out the ph level making it neutral so basically water so your better off mixing bicarbonate soda with tap water and transferring the pieces to that and keeping the vinegar for next time

A permanent or eternal match is a separate metal stick that comes out with the flame burning on it's end.

[@titusfrank3621]

Truly amazing to see how much you can do with just a rotary tool. How do you prevent lighter fluid from leaking out from the bottom? The cap doesn't seem very air/water tight

I was trying to read the name of the metal polish you used here. Would you mind sharing? It would also be nice if you would identify products you use in your restoration videos in the opening notes. Thanks so much! I really love watching you work on these! I'd definitely give it a 10!

[@TheRestorer]

[@shedmanx3640]

A well done restoration mate. Considering what you started with, the end result is magnificent.

[@yepyepuhhuh]

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.
