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.

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.

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

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.
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.

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."

Beautiful restoration Tysy, as you have accustomed us. The improvement in content quality these past few months has been astounding. Congratulations from Uruguay 🇺🇾
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.

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.

Truly amazing! I could watch your restorations all day.

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

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 KZread, 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!! ❤❤

@@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.
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.
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 👏🏻
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. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
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!
Excellent close up shots. Nice capturing the plumes of smoke.
That was…. Amazing!! And so beautifully filmed too. Beauty and purpose returned, how great is that!!! Thank you !
Very satisfying to see. And may i say it... how bold Tysy to almost show yourself in a video!! :D Thanks for the upload!
i APPRICIATE HOW MUCH EFFORT YOU PUT INTO THIS
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 😉
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.
The video effects and ASMR 😍Thank you for this. It looks absolutely perfect!
A fitting restoration to an Historical time. Salute.

Clickbait is necessary to succeed on YT. All the top KZreadrs 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.
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.
Really impressed by the photography beyond the restoration
Great job always 👍
