You selling that d day zippo?
You selling
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.
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.
@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. 😏
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.
If it 'ain't broke... don't fix it. (If it 'is' broke.. fix it and make a youtube video about it!)
That lighter was made in 1994.
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.
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
@@travismajszak551 They said 1993 not 1933, so they seem to be correct about the year for IX
@@travismajszak551there is always someone who will misread and try to correct. How did you manage?
Look carefully at the insert. H 05 on its side means made in August 2005.
1993 and 8/2005
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.
Not enough WD40
Man, you are on another level. Those were some great shots. I follow you for some years now and seeing the evolution in your videos is pretty cool. Thanks for the work, your are the best of them, keep it up.

Your right cause this guy spent HOURS filming ALLLLLLLLLL these videos just to post them on KZhead for entertainment😊😊😊😊
Just for entertainment?….not to earn money no lol
Yeah 1:14
Beautifully done, Tysy. What a striking remembrance of such a fateful day. I'm just grateful my father missed it. He had plenty on his plate in the S. Pacific.
Well, my grandfather missed it because he was on the eastern Front. Unfortunately, for the wrong side though.
Beautiful restoration Tysy, as you have accustomed us. The improvement in content quality these past few months has been astounding. Congratulations from Uruguay 🇺🇾
Side comment: Gotta love how cinematic your restorations are. Beautiful shots of smoke and the process.
1:45 “I’ll add a squeeze of wd40!” *adds a giant amount💀🗿*
12.6 metric squizes 👍
1/2 the can 😆
@@JulieT.. True💀😂
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. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Not only he restore rusty objects But he also restore our soul with his videos ♡
The best thing is to wake up the day with a restoration video. Cheers, TySy 😊
Very satisfying to see. And may i say it... how bold Tysy to almost show yourself in a video!! :D Thanks for the upload!
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 👏🏻
My grandfather was there, he would have liked your video. Anyway, thanks for the content, or as he would have sad “Danke”
Nice restoration. I know quite a bit about D-day, and the Canadians and others who served. Never forgotten, always honored .
That was…. Amazing!! And so beautifully filmed too. Beauty and purpose returned, how great is that!!! Thank you !
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.
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 KZhead, 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!! ❤❤
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.
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!
I went there with my unit as a battlefield study. Gold and Omaha too. Hard to imagine how terrible it must have been
Truly amazing! I could watch your restorations all day.
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!
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."
Absolute same experience with my own grandfather. That was the only time I ever saw that man cry.
Its an IX date code so made in 1993. Very cool lighter.
Terrific job, You took what was a great product and revived itto new again. The love and care you put into your work is reflected in the final outcome.
The effort and work you put in to make these things beautiful again is amazing! It would have been a whole lot easier to just restore the shield and attach it to a new Zippo, but that wouldn't have been the same. Thank you for sharing these!
6:55 Fellow MCM Watcher 😉
Super boulot, comme d'habitude. C'est satisfaisant de voir le résultat final. Merci pour tes vidéos.
i APPRICIATE HOW MUCH EFFORT YOU PUT INTO THIS
Excellent close up shots. Nice capturing the plumes of smoke.
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
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.
Sherman DD was the designated name for those tanks
While tanks may not have been used, the US military did have a vehicle called an Amtrack or AAV ( Amphibious Assault Vehicle)
@@Dfitch1995 I wonder if that's the reason we have an Amtrak train line in California?
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.
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.
I'm a car detailer. Seeing u use rupes compound and rotary polisher make me smile. Hahahah
On the lighter it reads "D-Day 50 anniversary", so that makes it 1994
1994 was nearly 30 years ago. That lighter is an antique on it's own.
@@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.

We should make a rap song with Future for your theme song
Yay
The video effects and ASMR 😍Thank you for this. It looks absolutely perfect!
A fitting restoration to an Historical time. Salute.
Great job always 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
So a 1994 Zippo? No need to do clickbait titles, your content is good enough
Legit remark about the content but it does not say that the lighter is from 1944 so no clickbait.
1993
@@bodibmf its clearly implied in the title and deliberately done
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. 🔥 👍
Clickbait is necessary to succeed on YT. All the top KZheadrs 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.
Another stunning restore Tysy, love how you bring history back to life.
A real treasure and special keepsake. You have incredible patience for such a detailed and small project. That was so fun to watch!
Zippo landed for the second time in Normandy 💥
Gorgeous restoration!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️ Edit: btw, how’s your rust pile coming along?
Working on it!
Yes, that’s what I was wondering too!
"I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill..." in restoration! Awesome ;)
Nice Job! I really liked the one with the modeling clay.... 🐢
Don't say 1944 in the title if it is 1994
How did that lighter get in that condition in just 29 years?
Really impressed by the photography beyond the restoration
As always awesome! Love your longer videos especially with sandblasting. More needed. Thank you. Your attention to detail is always appreciated
Man, that lighter was in very nad shape for not even being 30 ._.
Worried it was faked. You don't get that kind of blue rust that easily over that timespan.
I hate the fact that this video editing is so annoying that you actually lose your focus on the actual repair because of the unnecessary motions and editing effect. Makes me feel like I want stop the camera zooming movements by myself UGH
hello this is talent i am watching from Azerbaijan
Beautiful commemorative piece of History. Thank You
a 1994 zippo restoration
Fun fact: normandy was chosen for the invasion because it was the least fortified sea coast.
Less fun fact: it has also sentenced the entirety of Eastern-Europe to 45 years of Soviet occupation.
@@bara555 how is that? If they didn't land, the soviets might have gone even further than they were and possibly get the whole of germany.
@@I_Hate_KZhead. They considered landing at the Balkans, but decided not to, dooming everyone east of Germany. They failed half the continent.
@@bara555 wdym failed? Being under soviet control is not easy by any means, but failing them? If i had to choose, i'd prefer to be under communism than fascism. Or are you implying that communist countries are worse then fascist? The gulags were only in the ussr, and obly under stalin, btw.
Brilliant restoration - and awesome to see the mightycarmods flag at the back!
excellent result and brilliant photography
Generally curious, do you find items that look like this or create your own by placing them in a corrosive liquid
I think past ones have been real, but this has me worried he's started to follow the trend of faking the condition by artificially aging.
1994 anniversary edition lighter. Clickbait.
The before / after is really really impressive 🤩👍
At 4:40 am my time I get a wonderful notification that my favorite restoration artist has posted! Thank you so much for the awesome video!!
So satisfying
I was 17 years afterwards but later on in life I became a soldier of 22 years. I met a few of those honorable men and I respect them for their sacrifices. That would have been a lighter to have owned.
outstanding bit of work sir
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!
Awesome! A new TySy is just what I needed today!
Nicely done. I do so enjoy your lighter restorations. The end result is stunning. 👍
Great craftsmanship 😊
Love your videos watch every one of them
Man I love your videos and video editing skills. This was a top restoration job. Oh the cinematics. The lighting. So fresh and relaxing.
Great job! I have several Zippo lighters, luckily none look like what you started with! All are working!
As always great job ! Thanks Tysy, and bring another videos ! never stop !
Did anyone else saw the mighty car mods banner? Love that channel too!
Love these videos to watch in the evenings, very relaxing!
Glad you like them!
quel plaisir d'avoir une bonne vidéo à regarder pendant mon temps de table. Great Job!!
Always top notch work. Looks beautiful. I also really admire your camera work and editing. Great content. Thank you.
Another job well done sir ! 😎👍
Iv been following your channel for some years now. Have to say that the level of this video is really professional. Keep up the good work.
the talent is just amazing
Ohh, this smoothly sounds. Perfect finish Tysy! 😊
I post this comment every time I watch a Zippo restoration. The actual lighter insert is replaceable and can just be thrown away. It doesn't need to be 'restored.' Only the case.
That was amazing. Ive now subscribed to your channel. Thanks for uploading the video.
One of the best I've seen, it was a good sample. Alot of the samples I see has pitted metal even after done, I mean what's the point.
Cool 👍💎👍🪛👍🔩👍🧰💯🔝🍾🥂🏆🥇👏👏👏👏👏👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👌👌👌👍 Like 👍
Great video! Beautiful restoration! I quit smoking cigarettes almost a decade ago and while I don't desire smoking anymore I still wish I got to use a nice zippo every day like I used to.
Je me souviens des 50 ans du débarquement. Très belle restauration 👏
