Restoring Trench Art Lighter from WWI - Book Lighter Restoration

In this video I'll restore a trech art lighter shaped like a book from World War I. The lighter was handmade by someone during the war. It was not designed to have the wick and cotton replaced because it was soldered shut. I desoldered the triangle pieces of copper to remove the "hinge" and then I desoldered the bottom of teh fuel tank to remove the cotton and old wick.
