I was given to Ronson Lighter Such is here like:


These photos I found in Google, because I do not have a camera on my differences are minimal - in the frame attached to the body, otsutstvuet checked, instead a blank space:


Bottom with no inscriptions, slightly-concave proshtampovonno, insert molded and without labels, attached to the plate inscription: "Ronson since 1896", covered with gold leaf.

Well, if anyone knows, accomplish your goal, I will be very grateful ...

This is the last of the breed Ronson when they were made in China already. Probably 1980-90 period, sales do not know. Yes, in fact, this is not Ronson, but some autsorsnaya thing, just made under this brand. Quite a reliable lighter, I suppose, but like anything it is remarkable not. That is all.

As I was told, bought it up to 90 (or more precisely did not find out) in the U.S. state of Texas. There is a plastic box with a transparent flip KRYZHKOV, the inscription on the box reads "Ronson Since 1896". There are instructions in English, but the general statement, that is, on schematic pictures are shown different models, or even freestyle drawings (do not know), nothing on the Chinese it is not ...

PS Gasoline week holds no Poble if tight stuff ...

I believe you 100%, but that's not the idea of ​​where it was bought :) Just at the time when Ronson began to wither and turn up, they have closed zazhigalochnoe production in the U.S., England, Germany, and moved it to a more cost-efficient Asia. And this model - the top consumerism, that is the cost of it certainly did not exceed $ 1, and from this it has Ronson only the inscription "Ronson", although I do not deny that the company is licensed Ronson even, that is, formally, this is sort of like not fake, but real, "trushnym" Ronson it certainly can not be considered too (this is my IMHO :)

Entirely accurate - no. But it is at 95% during 1980-90, as I wrote. Not before.
