Description from the seller
Vintage Automatic Gasoline Lighter – Classic Model 50s-60s (Ronson Style)
Description:
I am selling a vintage pocket lighter with an automatic gasoline mechanism, made in the 1950s-1960s. The piece retains the iconic and elegant design of the famous Ronson Standard lighters, making it a superb collector's item or a special gift for retro enthusiasts.
Technical features and details:
Mechanism: Semi-automatic / Automatic (the wick cover rises instantly when the upper flap is pressed).
Finish: Robust metal body, fully chrome-plated, with a minimalist and elegant appearance.
Ergonomic design: The actuating flap has a checkered (checkered) anti-slip texture, specific to the era.
Power supply: Works with lighter gasoline (Zippo/Ronson) and classic flint stone. The base is completely smooth (unbranded), clean, equipped with the large screw for the power supply and the small screw for the flint spring.
Product condition:
The lighter is in very good original aesthetic condition, without clogs or dents on the case, presenting only the natural patina of time (small superficial scratches). The spring mechanism and the flap work flawlessly, having a firm stroke.
Note to the buyer: To be fully functional and ready to light, the wheel requires a light cleaning of flint dust, and the wick must be lifted or replaced (simple operations, specific to the maintenance of vintage objects). It is sold as a collector's item in the condition visible in the photos
