I have one master case Ronson with black enamel inserts front and back. Nice floral design around the rectangle monogram area in the center. I read somewhere the patent numbers were not used after 1949.

You could be right as I am not an expert. I was on a lighter collectors message board when I made this video and someone showed a Ronson lighter from the 1930s that had a patent number on it dated 1933, and another that had a 1928 patent number on it. The patent years marked on them doesn't mean it was made in that exact year though as sometimes they were made for a decade or two after the patent was made. It is hard to date these unless you really are a big collector of these. I'm definitely not good at dating these.

I forgot to mention, mine had to have been made before 1950 because the introduction of filters on cigarettes were in the 1950s. Before 1950, only 0.6 percent of cigarettes were filtered. My lighter/case does not hold filtered cigarettes. It is hard to know anything about these lighters unless you are a major collector. I've on had two of these in all my 25+ years collecting antiques so I am not experienced enough to know much about them.

Thank you for filming on the history of The Ronson lighter . I totally enjoyed this with so many photographs and comparative listings. My mother’s cousin owned a jewelry store and yes lighters were always considered a gift item. Correct you need liquid for this lighter. Yikes! De light cigarettes. Again another excellent film on #Ronsonlighters for those wanting more information.

There's definitely no flint in there! It would still spark up but it wouldnt light if there isn't any fluid. Also I highly suggest not using it because if it tips upside down the lighter fluid will leak out in your purse.

Thanks! I definitely am not going to use it. I was already a burn survivor and spent a month in the burn unit and almost died. I don't need any more accidents. I will just keep it as a display piece.

So Incase you still don’t know you can use zippo fluid in the wick “on the back” and I’m fairly certain the flint is the screw on the bottom. (If it is it should have a spring to hold the flint) I think I might be completely wrong tbh 🤷♂️

Lol. Take two Excedrin. It works, but it may cause liver damage. My mother took too many from the migraines I caused her and got jaundice and died shortly after. True story. I keep two Excedrins next to her ashes so she has them in the afterlife. My best advice is to hit the back button and watch someone else who is less annoying 😂🤣
