99-Year-Old Rarity: Restoration of a Unique French Lighter

In this video, I’ll be restoring a rare French Eclat G23 lighter from 1926. I purchased it at an online auction, and I was immediately drawn to its unique design and rarity – models like this are almost impossible to find in good condition. However, this lighter was missing an important part – the fitting cap for the wick. Having previously restored a similar model, I confidently took on its repair and restoration.
