Lighter Restoration czyli druga młodość by Vlad Artsmith.

Grafiki nie są identyczne, więc nie bardzo można porównywać jakość odnowienia.

Nie po to dałem zdjęcie a raczej aby potwierdzić moje słowa, że miałem ochotę na nówkę ;-)

Nowa i odnowiona ;-)

Jak dla mnie to wyglądają identycznie.


Oczywiście chodzi o kolor farby wypełnienia. Bo same zapalniczki pochodzą z innych roczników.

Hello Gentlemen.
I have joined your company and was thinking to start new topic to say hello, but when I saw this one I thought it would be fine just to drop a message here
I would like to thank you all for nice comments and especially Piotr for organizing shipments
It was interesting to read ZIPPOFAN's comment about Wolferts Roost color scheme. I have to say that I always do original colors unless a customers asks for custom work (which happened just few times so far). The colors I've done on Wolferts Roost are original. Blue sky and any other varieties would be custom work and not original color.
Also about the Reddy Kilowatt. If you wish to compare two Zippos properly you have to make sure you shoot them in very same conditions (same angle, same light, same camera etc) because even a smallest change in these conditions will appear big time. You need also to keep in mind that Zippo did not use the same paint supplier all the time for designs they produced for many years. Therefore it is very possible to see the same design with genuine paint but with different color shades. And last but not least - keep in mind that we are talking about vintage items of over 50 years old. Some of them were kept in a box in a drawer, some were displayed on direct sunlight or under a bulb. All these factors have influence on the paint and the color shade you have in your hand today.
Anyway, I am available 24/7 and I always appreciate all the comments and impressions.
I will use this opportunity to invite you all to check my website Gallery and other pages as well at http://lighterrestoration.com/gallery
Best regards to all and stay well and safe

Hi Vlad
Nice to have you here. Please note that I did not wanted to compare Reddys, this was not the point. I really believe you did everything what was possible but I just prefer Mint In Box.
I added photo just to confirm that I managed to get a new one.
Good luck and all the best

Great to have you both here, Gentlemen!

Ciekawostka:

Vlad (Lighters Restoration Group) i Maaks (Maciej Książek) połączyli siły tworząc "Old School Artworks".

Będą wspólnie tworzyć projekty w dawnej technice "T&C".

Two artists. One mission.

Podoba mi się ta koncepcja. Pewnie teraz nie kucną przed renowacją nawet T&C.

Już o tym Vlad wspomniał...
