I was drawn to this vintage Ronson table lighter not only because it remains in its original box, but because it has clearly been well cared for and regularly used over the years. I wish it could share it’s story as it hints at a good one, all glamour and good times. Being purchased from luxury British jeweller, Hancock and Co, as marked on the box, would have been just the beginning.
With its sleek, sculptural form and silver-tone finish, it’s a classic example of mid-century design meeting everyday function. Ronson lighters are well regarded by collectors for their build quality and distinctive styling, and even when no longer used as intended, their design remains striking and relevant.
This lighter has not been tested due to age. Original box included. Both show age-related wear consistent with regular use. It is something rather special, clearly once well loved.
