Huge WWII Brass Lighter Restoration | Mister Patina
In this Video i‘m restoring an old and huge lighter! I did some research and found out, that those lighters were build out of bullet or cannon cartridges. Possibly it was build between 1914 and 1945 - i cant tell you an exact time. A subscriber told me, that it looks like a nozzle from a firefighter hose, maybe it was a present for a firefighter.
I bought it online from a random person for around 20$. The restoration took me about 8 hours.
I started with disassembling this beauty, some threads were pretty stuck, so i tried disassembling it as careful as possible, because the brass is very soft. The old flint was broken, the spring was also broken in three pieces. The cotton in the mainbody looked surprisingly good - anyways - i replaced it in the end. After disassembly i gave it a nice wash to get rid of the dirt from the last decades. Because there was a lot of soot remaining on all the parts, i decided to clean the inner mainbody and the smaller parts with a soft wirebrush. It turned out very great, so i could move on with polishing. In the first step i took an abrasive compund for a nice surface, in the second step i took a finishing polish for a nice mirror shine. The parts turned out like brand new gold, time to reassemble this beauty. While reassembling, i build a new rivet for the flintstone, replaced the old flint against a new original zippo one and put a lot of new zippo cotton in it. I filled it up with a lot of zippo petrol and got to the final test. Some sparks and then - a nice calm flame :-)

Huge WWII Brass Lighter Restoration | Mister Patina - บันเทิง
I love how you keep the scratches and dents in your resto’s. It shows the history of it all and it gives it character. No telling what all it was used for throughout the past!
Does anyone else click like for his restorations before even watching the video?
Top!!!!!! Congrats!!!!
Thanks!
Man I love it when you have brass to restore. That is such a beautiful piece. I would really like to know what it was used for (exactly). Thank you for another great one Mr P.!
Neat. That's an old street lamp lighter.
Enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thanks! 🙂
@@misterpatina Just seen this but You're Welcome!!
Unique beautiful arson accessory. A+!
Thanks Derek!
Competition for DIY 👍
Well done!
Thanks bro!

Nice, thanks for share!
Thanks a lot Lori, thanks for watching! :-)
Why this kind of videos makes us watch even we don't have any bussiness with it.
Totally dig watching your videos brother 😎👍
The little jokes and sense of humour is a nice touch 🙂
Hey man, thank you! Iam very happy you enjoy 🙂
Duane Martin - I agree. Really like that too 😄
- Извините, у вас не будет зажигалки?
- Конечно!
😂
Xaxa!
👍You have talent 👍😉
Thanks Robert!
That would have to be the most impractical thing I’ve ever seen, but I love it and I want one; and I don’t even smoke. Keep up the great work mate. I’m going to keep an eye out for lighters when COVID restrictions have eased. 👍🇦🇺
Hey Shed Man! Yes Mate, it really is the most unpractical and unnecessary thing ive ever had :D But its really cool owning it :) Thanks for your comment!
Those of us who grew up in the '50s and '60s, know about our parents' lighters with a wick, cotten, fluid, and a flint. I used to play with my parent's lighter all the time (when they weren't around).
Your video brought back a lot of memories... it is truly, "in like flint"!
Hey Thomas! Yeah - boys will be boys - and playing with fire was/is a thing 😄
Iam glad you enjoyed!
Great video
Thanks Michael! 🙂
Good job man
Thanks Bro!
Hi 👋 awesome restoration lighter 🔥👍👌🏽✌🏻🇷🇺
Thanks Bro 🙂✌️🇩🇪
Gadzooks, that thing is huge! That has to be by far the most impractical lighter I've ever seen hahaha. Great job!
My first thought when I took the package „Gadzooks! That thing is heavy!“ 😄 haha, thanks! Btw., we should shorten those DM textlenghts, I wanted to answer like 50 times. You’ll hear soon! Keep it up bro!
@@misterpatina Hahaha yeah I agree, book length texts are a bit difficult to reply to XD
@@misterpatina Hey man, are you belgian by any chance?
Nope, I’m German 🙂
@@misterpatina oh really? I thought the lighter fluid with the 3 languages gave it away that you were belgian xd.
Great object, great work on it and fantastic result. Keep in up!
Thanks Bro! 🙂
واوو شكد حلو شغلك بارك الله بيك ❤️
مرحبا ، شكرا جزيلا على كلماتك الرقيقة
@@misterpatina حبيبي الله يعزك
Just gorgeous!
Thanks 🙂❤️
I'm not convinced that it is a lighter, though I'm sure it was used as one. My bet is that is was used as a self lighting candle. Life in the trenches was a muddy mess and dry matches were hard to come by. This would be an awesome candle inside one of the trench shelters that the officers had.
a candle, a lantern, a lighter, a torch, and a cartridge had a baby together!!
looks like a candle but is made of metal, works as a lantern but doesn't have a cover, is built like a lighter with the dimensions of a flashlight, and is made out of a cartridge.
Another wonderful restoration video! Such a pleasure to watch your videos!
Hey Linda, thank you so much! :)
Bloody lovely.
Thanks Kevin!
That gasket was just waiting for this lighter, perfect fit.
Beautiful work from your friends in Canada 🇨🇦 💪
Thanks Michael, greets from Germany!

This lighter is also an antique oil lamp 😀
I love the polished brass man nice work
Hey Bro, thanks a lot! :)
I love the color of the brass,you did a great job,well done .
Thanks Bro! 🙂
Wow. How cool is that. I can't imagine how much history is contained in this beauty.
Iam glad you enjoyed!
Awesome restoration !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Jerry! :-)
Very cool
Thanks!
That has to be one of the best-looking lighter that I have ever seen.
Once again you had taken something ugly and turned it into something beautiful.
Great job look forward to watching your next video.
Thanks David!
Lovely finish, looks like it was made from a 30mm or even a 40mm shell cartridge. Or maybe not. 😊
Beautiful!
A little sneak peak at the start to get us going. A bit of foreplay if you will.
Very cool extremely large lighter good job👍
Thanks s lot Wayne!
Wieder sehr schön!
Thanks! 🙂
Erinnert etwas arg an my mechanics, aber trotzdem sehr schön anzuschauen :D
Und dadurch, dass du keinen rießigen Maschinenpark hast, auch etwas das man selbst mal machen könnte.
Ich fühle mich sehr geehrt für diesen Vergleich 😄 ja, ich mach das alles im Keller, mit „haushaltsüblichen“ Gerätschaften 🙂 danke für deinen Kommentar! Grüße aus FFM :)
Handsomely!
Even a non-smoker will smoke with such a lighter.
You can cook food on it, if a little.
Thanks man! Oh i don’t Hope so 😄
Hé, wat geweldig, weer een fantastische baan! En wat een schilderachtige aansteker. Ik kan niet wachten om te zien wat je nu gaat doen. Ik kijk er naar uit!
Bedankt, ja het is echt een enorme aansteker! Ik weet alleen niet zeker of het een oude patroonhuls was of het uiteinde van een brandslang. Maar ik vind het resultaat erg briljant en het werkt weer prima. Bedankt voor je reactie en met vriendelijke groeten aan Holland! :-)
Ay oiga, le quedó muy bonito su encendedor de fuego, el metal brilla muy bonito, es una pieza hermosamente restaurada, like for you.
Hola, muchas gracias! :-)
Gostei.
I like your style, my friend. Satisfyingly beautiful!
Thanks a lot!
Schön gemacht. Vor allem weil man dem Teil sein Alter noch ansieht. Das macht den Charm aus. Oldie-blingbling 🙃
Gruß aus Mörfelden 😋
So isses! Tausend Dank :-)
Grüße aus FFM :-)

For some reason this lighter reminds of satan 5 rocket
Haha, thanks a lot James!
Awesome restoration Mr.Patina
What did you use for slurrp the lighter wool ???
Is it a Benzene ??
It’s zippo lighter fuel, yes.
великолепно !👍
Спасибо 🙂👍
жду новых роликов 😄
Я очень стараюсь загружать новое видео каждые две недели :-)
EXCCELENTE RESTAURAÇÃO (EXCELLENT RESTORATION) !!!!👍👏👏
Thanks my friend! :-)
@@misterpatina 👍👋
I think the flint holder could be worked on to clean some of the scratches, also attention to the knurling, but it is very shiny, well done👍
Thanks!
Genial
Jste velmi šikovný,bravo.
Mnohokrát děkuji! :-)
Hmmm, I'm not convinced that was made from a shell casing. The inner wall is smooth and the knurled sections are very thick - much thicker than any shell casing I have seen. The lighter - with the cap on - looks more like the brass nozzle on an old fire-hose. So, I wonder if it was actually a fire brigade presentation lighter given to a fireman for long service or on retirement? It seems more symbolic than useful, and it definitely looks like it has been machined to look like an old fire-hose nozzle.
Hey Paul, great idea! One thing that makes me think of a shell ist the bottom plate. It looks like there was an ignite plate, which got filled up with tin or something. I didn’t find exact details for this lighter, but other nice rare lighters from the WW2 time, made out of shells. I didn’t think of a fire hose nozzle, but I’ve got to say thank you, I will do some research! And thanks for watching 🙂
1:07 why would you not put something over the pliers so they dont destroy the knurling?! that poor part just got even more damaged
Also das Feuerzeug würde sich prima auf meinem Schreibtisch machen 😏😁😆👍
Haha, klassischer Briefbeschwerer :D
@@misterpatina bekäme einen Ehrenplatz... Und würde nicht als Briefbeschwerer missbraucht... Fehlt nur die Passende Maus Tastatur und Bildschirumrahmung 🤗🤔😋

The one and only :D
Top!
Ca a été fabriqué avec une douille d'obus?
Filled with cotton as if it is a pillow case
Mm yes the forbidden marshmallows
imagine someone asking you for a light and you whip this out..
"Bro you got a lighter?" *opens backpack* :D
Ngl for some reason I use your videos to go to sleeo
Iam glad they got a sense for you 😄
😍
Forgive my ignorance, but is there a practical purpose for a giant lighter like that?
Definitely not. 😄
Having seen a few giant lighters myself, I'd say prestige items.
Hermoso !!! Que buen trabajo !!!!!!
Gracias! :-)
Hmm I think it needed sanding, unless you want to keep the patina
Hey Todd, think its a mix of both. I wanted to keep some of the Patina, on the other hand brass is so soft, i didnt want to ruin it with sanding marks. So i did the restoration with a lot of respect and knowing, that there will be some Patina left.
Hope you enjoyed anyways! :-)
9gag brought me here
Boaaaar, issat n Brummer ....ziemlich fett für 'n Feuerzeug, oder?! 😉🦊
P.S.: Wie haben Sie denn den Docht wieder in die vorgesehene Führung bekommen? Das fände ich sehr interessant - mit Draht, oder so ähnlich ...?
Der Legende nach ist das eine alte Patronen-Geschosshülse :-)
Den neuen Docht hab ich mittels Draht reingefriemelt...:D
I feel like u would be a great dad
Sehr schön. Eine Frage, wo bekommt man solche alten Teile. Möchte auf meinem Kanal auch mehr mit Restaurationen arbeiten.
Dank dir! Ich hab das meiste von Kleinanzeigen 😉
Damn, I am jeleaous... ;-)
@Alexander Albach, jeleaous of what? ^^
I would guess that the person who made this was tired of having to refill his lighter, and so made one that only needs to be filled once.
😄😄😄
Maybe it's meant to be a candle?
♥️🐭
🙂❤️
Koenntest du eine alte spitzhacke oder aehnliches restaurierien
"Subscribe" nudging is annoying but at least he is not screaming at us so thanks for that! :)
Haha, thanks! I didn’t do it on my last videos 🙂
Something tells me, one of those subscribe alerts was a European firetruck siren
You’re right John, it was a German one 🙂
I'm from 9gag
Sieht top aus... Subscribe Alert!!! 👋🏻
👋🏻👋🏻
Good guy cause he posted a meme on 9gag
Is there a link to that post
That thing will hold over two cans of lighter fluid!!!!!!!!!
It really does, Ray! 😄😄
I guess they didn't want to have to refill their lighter very often...
Its a lifetime fill :D
@@misterpatina lol!
10:10 please no smoking allowed
Ok bro, thanks^^
You really should re-name yourself, "Mr. De-Patina." Because that's all I've seen you do.

Thanks for stopping by 🙂✌️
@@misterpatina no emogi you gotta get me cancer m8
Gabriel Saavedra you’re right, sorry! And sorry for no potato at the end of the video.
The brass "patina'd."
A great looking piece for sure. The restoration has probably dropped the value considerably however. Most of the value can be in the patina and polishing it drops the value, kind of ironic as it's Mister Patina. Just fixing the flint spring and wheel would have increased the value.
If he just changed the flint and spring, it wouldn’t have been a good restoration video. I make tons of money on my restorations so cleaning something doesn’t really kill the price point.
Koch.
Lol.
