Good video but stop panning and zooming the camera. The visual content is interesting enough that moving the camera too much is just distracting and annoying

What year was that lighter made?

I love the little bits of drama you bring into your mix. You have a stunning talent.

[@spears_elizabeth]

This is a WWI Trench Art Lighter. They typically have a coin as a centerpiece which would help determine where it came from exactly. I'm not very educated on this subject, so I could be wrong, but it's strange that the center is just unlabeled plastic seeing as all the others I've seen are made of various coins from the soldiers' belongings. The outcome is stunning either way!

[@spears_elizabeth]

Actually, after reading some more comments, I suppose that's not plastic! Interesting! Truly a masterpiece

Nice job. I think the black plastic is Bakelit. There is just one thing i can not get out of my mind. The whole lighter is made out of brass and bakelite. How is it actually possible that brass and bakelit can rust? It is a wired thing!

[@TheRestorer]

Thank you!💚😉👍

[@woodrage1]

Fake rust

[@stephenduerr8925]

Looks like something corroded over and on to it

[@normfredriksen1381]

I agree bakelite. I have a nice set of Cutco knives and utensils over 60 years old with bakelite handles and they look as good as when my father used to sell them all that time ago.

[@Paladinforthewin_xx]

I was thinking Bakelite as well I know they stopped making during WW2 so it makes sense that’s what it is … but I’m not sure I’ve seen black before in it, usually it’s always RGB color scheme

[@ВикторГалянин]

Зажигалка просто класс после реставрации. Красота. Лайк однозначно.

[@TheRestorer]

👍😎💚😉

[@Naplesfrank154]

I am very curious as to why you didn’t soak the lighter in a rust remover solution first. Oiling it and then prying pieces off the lighter could have resulted in total breakage. It’s also amazing that the lighter was rusted since it was made of brass and or copper. Maybe there was a contamination of iron mixed in with the brass if that is possible. In the end. It came out wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

[@jonathanechols9985]

It's possible it was in a case that rusted around it.

[@mikedickinson9730]

You caught exactly what I caught. The metals that the lighter is made of do not rust. And there is also not one bit of pitting from the corrosion. I have a feeling that it is fake rust made for entertainment. Can’t trust anything you see nowadays.

[@Naplesfrank154]

@@mikedickinson9730 I actually just saw a KZbin video a couple of days ago where they talked about most of the restoration videos being fake. They paint a fake rust product over the metal to make it look really bad. Have you ever watched the restoration videos from Hand Tool Rescue? That guys work is phenomenal. I have an antique deli slicer that he wanted me to send to him but it weighed a ton and I would have had to make a wooden shipping box to send it in. I have a bad back so I couldn’t handle it, it’s still sitting in my garage. I really think you will like the guy.

[@mikedickinson9730]

@@Naplesfrank154 That sounds like it would be a mission. Lol. I’ll have to check him out for sure. I’m sitting here googling how on earth this lighter would rust to prove myself wrong and I just can’t find anything aside from faux rust. Anything for views.

[@gizmo1252000]

yeah, lets soak a brass lighter which is non ferrous ,in rust solution ,strange brass does,nt rust .and its does not contain iron .

One side had the insignia of the 151st Engineering Battalion and the other, US Army, PTO (Pacific Theater of Operations). 151st was decommissioned and the unmarried soldiers were transferred to Patton's 3rd Army, 47th Calvary.

Bakelite is the first form of plastic. Celluloid I believe. Not the plastic of now. That is 1920s give or take a decade. At that time it was modern. New material and fancy.
