These Wonder lanterns were very popular with the general public during the Second World War and some State services were also used. What made these lanterns popular is its appreciable battery life, 50 hours of continuous operation. I chose this orange because it is very visible and very vivid. I do not know if it seems to you but it looks like a Minion from cartoons

I found this syringe in a flea market, in good working condition but very oxidized because it is copper, I changed the orings, and the gasket from inside de pump. This syringe was used many years ago in the garden to apply flower treatments and watering, now it's just a very bright and interesting decoration object.

This is the Pulverisateur Muratori 1955 Paris I found this sprayer a week ago at the flea market, it cost me 8 euro and was very rust and didn't work. All gaskets were very old an broken. This sprayer was used for flower ,potatoes and vines treatment. It was a very difficult reconditioning, i found hard all the gaskets because you can not find those sizes anymore. To remove the oxidation from copper i used vinegar, it worked very well. To bring copper color back to life i used a metal polish and a polishing disc . To protect against oxidation i applied a car wax that makes a barrier between the copper and exterior. After installing all the parts it's time to test this antique jewelery. I'm really excited that it works. The sticker was indispensable for the correct completion of the project.

I found this Old cord drill Black and Decker at flea market, it cost me 10€ , is made in England year 1980 , the model is DNJ 52 H30. Because the plastic was so scratched i didn't manage to save it and make only a clear coat because was so many black spots so i decidet to make orange like the lantern from my old video. Inside the dril the 2 brushed carbon was missing ,may be someone tried to make it work but didn't managed so it let like that the poor drill. For me was so entertainig to restore this old drill with so many parts.
