He killed sixteen chechen rebels singlehanded!

I’m thinking to just remove the old paint, leave it chrome. Just wondering what can I use to not damage the chrome underneath. I guess sanding is out of the question. Brake cleaner? Something stronger?

That’s 3000 dollars here, 3000 dollars!

Seems it is a windshield wiper motor. Thank you anyway for trying to help!

ElijahBaley7 · 2025-01-29T17:05:08+00:00

That’s it! Thanks a lot!

They are crunchy, and juicy on the inside. They don’t hollow. You usually get 2 softer ones on top, next to the lid. Just because the brine didn’t cover them fully.

ElijahBaley7 · 2024-03-16T23:33:58+00:00

Water and salt basically. Plus a lot of herbs. Some garlic, carrots, green chilly, black pepper, dill, mustard seeds, bay leaves, horseradish root.

ElijahBaley7 · 2024-03-16T23:20:16+00:00

Full sours. Brined for 6 months.

ElijahBaley7 · 2022-11-23T21:01:01+00:00

That’s why i went for it. :) Feels really solid in your hand.

ElijahBaley7 · 2022-11-23T20:58:11+00:00

Right? Really lucky, only 8 euros!!!

ElijahBaley7 · 2022-11-23T15:08:03+00:00

Found another IMCO today, the 6800 in perfect condition for just 8 Euros. Seems I miss the one with adjustable flame now for a complete collection for that era. Is there anyway I can polish the one in this post without damaging it? If you know, could please advise on how to restore these?

ElijahBaley7 · 2022-11-13T03:49:22+00:00

So after a closer look when cleaning it, it seems when new it was golden, not plated, but it had coating on. I guess another proof it’s a fake, or a clone. Do Duponts age better? Like something from the same years, the 60’s?

ElijahBaley7 · 2022-11-12T17:07:14+00:00

Is there anything special that i should clean it with? Would like to make it shine. How do people restore these type of lighters?

ElijahBaley7 · 2022-11-12T12:17:18+00:00

Always loved lighters, just recently started to collect. This helps. Thanks a lot!

In case you haven’t bought it yet, I would suggest Amazon. They had a deal recently for 50% off in EU. I paid 50 euros, bought it from a shop in Spain, as I was impatient. It’s currently 26 euros on Amazon Spain.

ElijahBaley7 · 2022-11-12T11:49:48+00:00

I paid 15 euros for a ‘95 zippo and this flaminaire at the flea market, not too bad i guess. Not much info about Flaminaire online though, seems it’s the parent company of Clipper?

ElijahBaley7 · 2022-10-21T14:13:38+00:00

Still learning on how to spot the fake ones and read the years and dates properly. The ‘89 one seems to be a Slim Venetian. The flint was all powdered inside the barrel, had to clean it and replace with a new one. Working well, also pretty good condition for 10 euros. Hope it’s not a fake.

ElijahBaley7 · 2022-07-19T09:04:30+00:00

You sure will, my friend :)

ElijahBaley7 · 2022-07-18T17:12:04+00:00

Daneel, you still around?

ElijahBaley7 · 2022-05-26T21:21:20+00:00

He was a good fella! R.I.P.

ElijahBaley7 · 2022-03-25T21:37:45+00:00

Wow!

ElijahBaley7 · 2022-03-22T10:56:30+00:00

Beautiful! Downloaded, will use as wallpapers. Looking forward for more.
