Hello everybody!🖐 @TheRestorer with you again.🔥😎
In this asmr video I will show the restoration of a very old miniature women's lighter DIY. This beautiful vintage lighter came to me non-working and in very poor condition. Its surface is covered with dirt, the metal is oxidized and partly covered with rust. Due to the fact that the body of this antique lighter is made of bronze and brass, it has survived to this day and has not completely rotted in the ground. Once upon a time, such lighters were made to order by craftsmen and are very often unique and exist in only one copy. This lighter is very tiny and delicate, fits perfectly in a small women's purse. I found several such examples on the Internet. The fashion for such lighters was during World War I, around 1900. Therefore, it can be assumed that our women's lighter is more than 100 years old.
It is very good that the construction of this antique lighter remained intact and there are no broken parts. This greatly facilitated the process of full restoration. The main task was to carefully clean all surfaces, repair the mechanism, replace the rotten spring and filling (wool, wick) and polish all the parts of the lighter using several methods. At the end, collect all the parts and check the serviceability. The restoration was completed successfully and our beautiful women's lighter is working and looks perfect.
I wonder who exactly could have been the owner of this thing?
