Description from the seller

First introduced in 1936, the Crown model is one of the most elegant and enduring designs produced by Ronson, serving as a classic example of Mid-Century desk decor.Technical Details & Design:Model: Crown (classic Queen Anne-inspired shape).Finish: High-quality silver plating with a beautiful, authentic vintage patina.Design: Features a gadrooned body with a decorative beaded rim around the base, quintessential of the Art Deco era.Dimensions: Approximately 6 cm (height) x 7.5 cm (length).Condition Report:Aesthetics: The lighter is in very good vintage condition. The silver plating remains largely intact with no major dents or deep scratches.Functionality: The mechanism is fluid and occasionally produces a spark. This indicates that the striking wheel and tension spring are in working order. For consistent performance, a fresh flint and minor cleaning of the flint tube are recommended. The item is sold as-is, untested with fuel.Base: The base is finished in metal (no felt pad), allowing for clear visibility of the original Ronson hallmarks and patent markings.This is a sophisticated collector's item, perfect for a vintage office setup or as a centerpiece in a tobacciana collection.
