EXTREMELY rare Varta first electric iron ! Almost impossible restoration

Restoration of a VERY rare VARTA iron from 1900s. It was buried in the ground for a long time.I wanted to iron my shirts with a historical iron.So I decided to start this restoration project.
Open subtitles for information.

[@juliemarkham4332]

What in the world is all over that iron?? It looks like it was dipped in batter and deep fried. Absolutely amazing transformation!!

[@AntiqueVintageRestoratioNs]

Thanks for your beautiful message Julie. ❤️❤️

[@mitsuomits9077]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@psefti]

It is called mica, it looks a bit like glass it was used in the doors of wood stoves at the turn of the century, it resists high temp that would break glass.

[@PrayerRider]

It was probably found buried in the ground somewhere or in a dump. Back in the late 19th or very early 20th century, people used to bury their old broken junk, ie, pots, pans, rugs, utensils, in the ground. I have found such things where I used to live as it used to be farmland before it was developed into city neighborhoods.

Looked like something out of an archeological dig. Wow amazing how anything like that can actually be restored. Thankyou for bringing back a history we probably wouldnt have ever seen again.

Nice job. I like your patience and persistence. Antiques are my favorites, because they're well made and last a long time.

[@AntiqueVintageRestoratioNs]

Thank you very much. They are both more beautiful, better quality and more useful in terms of durability and functionality compared to really newly produced products.💜💜

[@blackcotton2288]

I love the side by side comparisons during the restoration. Amazing job!!

Ive got those same "dental tools". It was a kit with all sorts of picks and tweezers. Mom got it for me when i was in college of Anthropology and went on an archaeological dig. So handy! Even now, around the house, I use the all the time. Excellent restoration!!!!

It is really useful. I have the set too. I bought it second hand from the antique market. I maintained and cleaned it. It has been 10 years. I could not have thought that they were this functional before I bought them.❤

[@bethsantoro1963]

@@AntiqueVintageRestoratioNs good point but to be honest even that guy would had to have said it was trash. You did the impossible and I love it. Pieces like that was made to last a lifetime. Now the new stuff is just junk. No one takes pride in what they make unless it is the small business owners that make it by hand. Those are the ones I seek out, sometimes quality is worth the extra price because it will be around a long time instead of a few months.

That old iron looked like it was in the ground because it was encrusted with a lot of dirt or dried-on mud. It looked too far gone to be restored but you got it working again. It looks much better too. Excellent work.

I am curious about the layer of mica (looked like glass) that was within the iron. It doesn't seem like you addressed replacing it. It seems it's used because it conducts heat but insulates against electricity. Seems important considering all the metal in the iron. Did you consider replacing it but couldn't find a source?

[@AntiqueVintageRestoratioNs]

It seems it's used because it conducts heat but insulates against electricity it is true.The new heating element I installed is a closed one.You can see it at 20:01.Thanks for watching.
