I’m sure I’ll be able to restore at least some of them. The lot had 4 of this type of lighters and a couple really old ones. The lighter has 3 parts. The lighter itself, a tank for extra lighter fluid and a cap. I think it’s called Tommy style lighter after brand of Tommy lighters. I have no idea what the brand on it is. I made some of my own tools from nails to push up all the dents. After getting the shell of the lighter back to orginal shape I sanded it flat because there is only so much you can do to dents on metal. The dents often stretch the metal so that I can’t be only hammered back to the orginal shape. I However I got it close enough to just sand off the tiny unevenness. This was important because mirror finish will reveal the slightest bumps. After sanding I polished it by wet sanding and polishing compound. This resulted to perfect mirror polish. The lighter was missing the spring and screw that hold the flint in place so I loaned one spare parts from the other lighters I bought. I have already ordered some spare parts but they take weeks to ship so I figured this is the best solution. I also also changed the old wick to a Zippo wick which was the same size and the only option locally available. I also put is a Zippo flint but then I realized the old flint had been oxidized and jammed in the pipe for the flint. I used a small screwdriver to destroy the remaining of the flint. After this the lighter worked perfectly. I added a blooper at the end of the video. I was not careful with the lighter fluid and there was some on the outside of the lighter and mu hands which resulted me setting my hands on fire :D This is not very dangerous as the flame is not very hot but obviously it’s never safe to be setting this on fire by accident. I hope you learned from my mistake or at least had a good laugh, I know I did.
