Old rusty lighter 3 Restoration

In today's video, we'll show you how to clean an old old gasoline lighter.
I bought this rusty lighter at auction. The lighter was in poor condition, very faded and inoperative.
Something y history:
Petrol lighter
Petrol lighters are mostly metal and in the lower part there is a container in which the lighter body is inserted. The inside of the body is filled with cotton wool or other sucking substance that absorbs combustible material (mostly technical gasoline) and holds it from evaporation. A wick is introduced into the lighter body and moistened with combustible material. When crossed out, flammable mixtures are ignited, causing a flame.
Some types of lighters have an area around the wick protected by a special part that is perforated and allows the flame to burn even when the wind blows or falls to the ground. This technology is patented.
The best-known gasoline lighters are Zippo products, which guarantee their users quality. The company provides a lifetime warranty on all its lighters. Another worldwide brand is the Austrian IMCO with almost a century of tradition in the production of gasoline lighters of its own patent known in the Czech Republic also under the name "rakušák".

action index:
0:01 lighter performance
0:30 rough cleaning with a steel brush
1:05 disassembly of the lighter
1:20 the rusty squeegee had to be sprayed with the WD-40 to release it
1:48 to release the lower lid it was necessary to use pliers where I glued the paper tape to avoid lighter
2:08 For easy brass cleaning, I used a brass cleaner, a compound of several acids.
2:45 Cleaning takes only a few minutes. After removal from the brass cleaner, rinse in distilled water.
3:30 Use metal wool for easier cleaning.
3:55 I used a disc brush to clean the squeegee.
4:31 We have to unscrew the spring and we can start polishing the brass parts of the lighter.
5:43 To polish the brass, I pulled up a piece wheel and a polishing paste.
6:56 I used alcohol to clean up the remnants of the polishing paste.
7:10 For the stability of polished parts, the brass must be fixed with a transparent brass paint. (if brass does not fix again soon)
7:34 And the assembly of the lighter begins. First insert a new pebble, spring and screw.
8:19 Next we put a new wick, I used the Zippo wick
8:58 Pulp follows - also Zippo
9:50 Last we put in the throttle wheel and we can fill the lighter with gasoline - used Remo gasoline
10:07 after closing with a tee followed by functionality test :)
11:28 comparison before and after renovation
11:36 and I have another piece in my collection :)

It's nice to see a restoration video that isn't just a coffee grinder that someone burried in their back garden for a couple of weeks.

[@ladytron9188]

Brilliant restoration.Great ending with the matches at the end.🔥🔥🔥

[@VeradonaRestoration]

Thanks Lady :)

[@Madlintelf]

Beautiful restoration, didn't even see those patterns until you cleaned it up, I wonder how old that thing is, never seen anything like it before.

[@VeradonaRestoration]

The lighter should be from 1912

[@robertjenisch8989]

As someone who collects lighters and Zippos in particular, I found this lighter to be quite fascinating, keep up the excellent work

I'm restoring one of these as we speak. There's a hidden compartment in the base (it screws together). Found an extra flint and some cloth in mine.

[@VeradonaRestoration]

Yes you are right. I didn't notice this with this lighter, but the last thing I did, yes.

[@szabib2144]

So your also had a hidden compartment like the commenter said??

[@tootall5559]

Were there any markings as to maker on this lighter? It could be very old, around 1912 or so. (they make reproductions so it's hard to be sure) Couple of tips, the cotton balls can be opened up into long strips, this is sometimes useful, but on this one being balls kinda worked out. Don't screw the flint screw all the way in with a fresh flint. You shouldn't need to, and you turn it in as the flint wears, to keep an even pressure on it. just turn it in until it sparks well. Even though Zippo and Ronson flints (same thing same company now) have additives to keep them from corroding fast, if you're just going to set the lighter on a shelf and not use it, remove the flint so it doesn't corrode in the tube. With these new flints, you can get a few years before they corrode, but eventually they will. As a note to everyone else, never use like old flints from cheap plastic lighters, they will corrode very quickly. I've had them go bad before I even use up the fill of the cheap lighter. Use only Ronson or Zippo flints, or in the case of a Dunhill lighter, use Dunhill flints (Zippo and Ronson will work, if that's what you have handy, but Dunhill flints are a bit larger in diameter and work better in a Dunhill lighter) Very nice work. However, vinegar or Ketchup will clean the brass, you don't have to buy a special product. Also, I highly recommend you use 0000 super fine steel wool, makes it easier to buff out the scratches later. It LOOKED like you were using a much coarser steel wool at least at first. Love your work, keep it up. And yes, I have restored hundreds of old lighters, including a few much like that one. Probably Austrian by the way.

[@vickiefowler1429]

I have a thing for old lighters, too. I have a zippo lighter that I bought in 1972 that has been in constant use to this day. I just realized, when I was watching your video, that it is now almost 50 years old - and not in need of restoration... unless you count the fact that all the copper plating wore off a long time ago! It still makes that iconic “Zippo click” when you close it!
