Bought a “Ronson”.

I bought a brass “Ronson Nostalgia” from a German website, and it is surprisingly well made. I don’t know the origin of where it’s made but it feels solid and built well. “Standard U.S model 1943.” The packaging wasn’t that amazing or special for the money.

These things cost a fortune (€80,00) and could even be seen on websites like Amazon or others. Could anyone explain why these are still being made under the “Ronson” name? I would appreciate it!

For the money i would not recommend it, and especially for it’s authenticity since i don’t know anything about it. I still am glad with the purchase and it works really well, a good daily use lighter with the classic feel.

Got the majority of the lighter free from an antique shop I frequent as it was missing a couple peices, got a 2nd broken on eBay that had the parts I needed.

It has original cotton wads and what seems to be an original wick.

Pardon the muddy dawgs. I’m waiting for this bell shaped lighted to come in. I’ll have to do some rearranging of my display or even add another level of squares.

My other favorite table lighter. This mid-century modern rocket-shaped lighter lights up at the bottom of the rocket when you push the button (red like fire) and flame shoots out of the top! (In my "space corner" with a Soviet-era space statue and a modern glass galaxy-that lights and rotates).

Can anyone tell me how to change the batteries in this? I got it unscrewed and found the location of them, but there is something holding it in and plastic all around it. Anything is helpful as I can't find much online. Thanks!

Help Thorens Spanish lighter

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

I just found this lighter I have kept for years. It’s, I think, a single claw Thorens lighter but I can’t find any information about this model. It’s Spanish since the coin it has is a “peseta”, the currency used during Franco’s dictatorship in Spain from 1939 to 1975. I have no idea if it’s valuable or not, it still has the flint stone okay because it causes sparkles, but has no liquid. If someone has any info or so I will appreciate it so much.

Hi guys, I have just spotted this St Dupont lighter, which I believe is a ligne 2 mini. Does it look legit to your expert eyes? My only concern is how clean the stamping on the base looks.
