  • Here is a new video !!
    This is a vintage TV lighter made by the Japanese company Waco around 1960.
    It was in very bad shape, some parts were broken or missing and had to be re-made.
    The chrome was really pitted and as I couldn't do new one, I just polished it. It could have been better tho...
    Please watch till the end to see this 1960's Japanese TV lighter in action !

    I restored a 1940s lighter for a friend who was an antique dealer it was a pilot holding a propeller but when you moved his head the flame appeared. The body was cracked so it took a fair bit of time to rebuild him. Luckily after restoration it sold for a reasonable amount in just a few days.
