You selling

[@Little_Red_Riding_Hoodlum]

I have to say that the Zippo company is shear genius. Change nothing for 90 years, thus making all of the parts compatible over the years and STILL raking in the dough.

[@Rox_Fox94]

not all parts are compatible. zippos design changed a few times during the history. some changes were big (especially during the early years of zippo), some barely noticeable. still, not all parts are compatible to each other.

[@Little_Red_Riding_Hoodlum]

@Rox Fox You must just be heaps of fun at parties. It was not meant to be a history lesson for anyone. Just a casual observation. 😏

[@capers72424]

I think part of the reason they are still raking in the dough, based on YT content, is that people regularly lose them! It is one thing if it is a generic lighter, and another thing altogether for a commemorative one.

[@Martin_Edmondson]

If it 'ain't broke... don't fix it. (If it 'is' broke.. fix it and make a youtube video about it!)

[@tycro]

That lighter was made in 1994.

[@paulroehl1099]

IX Zippo is a 1993 model. 30 years of corrosion and neglect melted away. What a wonderful job! The Zippo company themselves should be impressed. Fantastic work as always.

[@travismajszak551]

It’s not. 1933 model, 1933 is when zippo produced their first lighter, the overall design has stayed the same but if it had the Amphibious Ranger badge on it then I’m sure it’s not from 1933

[@RJE95]

Superb job. My father was in the Royal Engineers and went across on D-Day+1, he never talked about his action or what he saw, but clearly saw plenty with three Oak Leaf "mentioned in dispatches" commendations. A very quiet kind gently spoken man.

[@johnnygrind77]

My cousin's grandfather was an American soldier during WWII and he was there. Many years later, the 2 of them were watching the movie, "Saving Private Ryan" and at the Normandy scene, right after they drop the doors from the boats, his grandfather had to get up and leave. He was outside crying and he told my cousin, "It's too accurate and real to relive it."

[@rossterry]

Absolute same experience with my own grandfather. That was the only time I ever saw that man cry.

[@echobeefpv8530]

Nice restoration. I know quite a bit about D-day, and the Canadians and others who served. Never forgotten, always honored .

[@AlvaroLucard]

The best thing is to wake up the day with a restoration video. Cheers, TySy 😊

[@jasmineflint2785]

Beautiful! My family is military, RAF, Army, Navy other things! My little brother was born on D-Day, and lived in D-Day village in Portsmouth the first few years of his life!

Although it's been a while since I've dropped by your channel, you're still my favorite restorator. I'm so impressed with how much your videos have elevated through time. You've nailed this ASMR shiz down to a T! Awesome work 👏🏻

[@shyamdevadas6099]

Beautiful job! I'm old enough to remember when refillable lighters like the Zippo were still the most common. Back then, people took care of the things they owned and took pride in how long they lasted. The Zippo and Ronson lighters were proud possessions for lots of people. It really says something that Zippo is still around even 50 years after the lighter industry came to be dominated by makers of crappy disposable lighters from companies like Bic. Great video.

[@kingscorpion7346]

I have had a Zippo for nearly 40 years now, from the ship I served on in the Navy, and it's still in superb shape!

[@mewregaurdhissyfit7733]

As always, pristine museum quality craftmanship. Artistic perfection of the highest calibur. Any museum would be extremely lucky to have you restore antique pieces for them. Tysy is world class for sure. I watch other restorative geniuses on KZbin, but you are the King of them all! I am ALWAYS super excited when you put out another video.........especially ones with some historical significance. You've given that lighter at least another 100 years of life!! ❤❤

[@thegamingninja4529]

i APPRICIATE HOW MUCH EFFORT YOU PUT INTO THIS

[@andrewbanks1175]

Something I know about D-Day is that they had specialized tanks that could act like boats. They added some floatation devices to the sides of the takes to help make them more floatable and added mechanical rudders to the back to steer it. While it may not have been adopted in sea warfare unfortunately, it is still an interesting fact, and the reason why there are actually quite a few tanks under the water at Normandy Besch

[@RobinHullBuilds]

The sea was too choppy for the tanks and the water simply washed over the canvas skirts. Most of them were lost, along with their crews.

[@johnathanedwards9054]

Sherman DD was the designated name for those tanks

[@Dfitch1995]

While tanks may not have been used, the US military did have a vehicle called an Amtrack or AAV ( Amphibious Assault Vehicle)

[@YeethusCries]

​@@Dfitch1995 I wonder if that's the reason we have an Amtrak train line in California?

[@0WEN0AH]

Yep, they dredged a few DD tanks up from the landing beaches and theres a few in a nearby private museum, (allegedly) the enclosed tanks were never opened as to not disturb the soldiers last resting place.

[@Charlielizard]

Once again, proof of why you're still #1. Love your Zippo restorations more than anything else. Those lighters bring back so many great memories of special occasions when they were presented as a gift to another member of my military family. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@evitasdad]

That was…. Amazing!! And so beautifully filmed too. Beauty and purpose returned, how great is that!!! Thank you !

[@oddis188]

Nice restoration. The original 1994 D-day 50 years anniversary Zippo had a kind of black wrinkle paint on it originally. And the "leafs" in the brass emblem were painted red. But still lovely job.

[@gromit1996]

I have been on Juno Beach, the part of Normandy that Canada landed its troops on during D-Day, and it was a very moving experience. Quite the amazing battle and at the time, not altogether clear whether the beach-head on the continent was going to hold. Nice restoration!

[@FrankFurther]

I went there with my unit as a battlefield study. Gold and Omaha too. Hard to imagine how terrible it must have been

[@sardonic_smile_8752]

Excellent close up shots. Nice capturing the plumes of smoke.

[@MyBelch]

I have my great grandfather's tiny USN zippo lighter he used while building the ALCAN highway in 1943 with the Seabees. It's in perfect condition. This video reminded me of it. Thanks.

[@SoHighIFly]

So a 1994 Zippo? No need to do clickbait titles, your content is good enough

[@bodibmf]

Legit remark about the content but it does not say that the lighter is from 1944 so no clickbait.

@@bodibmf its clearly implied in the title and deliberately done

[@JulieT..]

I guess a word was missing like "edition" or "commemorative ". I also assumed it was the actual year of the lighter vs just a special edition of the lighter. But in either way still a fantastic video. I don't think he meant it to be click bait. 🔥 👍

[@OfficialSamuelC]

Clickbait is necessary to succeed on YT. All the top KZbinrs do it in some form. Eventually the algorithm will ruin you if you don’t. It’s a factually proven science no matter how much we might dislike it.

[@bryanparkhurst17]

At the beginning of the video you asked if anybody knew anything about D-Day. My grandfather was in the first division US Army, he was the first Gunner on a mortar crew and first wave on Omaha Beach. So, yeah I know a little bit about D-Day. Now stick with me on this one, one of my customers, who has now passed away had a father that was in the first division that also went in on Omaha Beach. He himself fought with the first division during the Vietnam conflict and at some point in time had collected two of the lighters you just restored. I got one, his son got the other when he passed. It originally came with a display case and had a slightly different finish. But sir, you did a great job!

On the lighter it reads "D-Day 50 anniversary", so that makes it 1994

[@soupwizard]

1994 was nearly 30 years ago. That lighter is an antique on it's own.

[@rastachech1375]

@@soupwizard To be exact, 29 years in June. Considering that an item must be 50 years old (100years old in most cases) to be considered an antiquity, this would be a vintage piece, at best, being very generous. Good restoration tho.
