Vintage Ronson Table Lighter – Made in England – Ivory Egg-Shaped DesignA Distinctive Piece of Vintage Ronson Design
Discover a distinctive vintage table lighter bearing the well-known RONSON name and marked MADE IN ENGLAND. This piece features an elegant ivory-colored, egg-shaped outer body paired with a polished chrome-tone metal lighter mechanism. Its compact sculptural form and contrasting materials give it a timeless appearance that makes it an interesting addition to a vintage collection.
Unlike ordinary pocket lighters, this example has a decorative tabletop-style design. The smooth, rounded body creates a distinctive silhouette, while the metallic upper mechanism adds a refined contrast to the cream-colored exterior.
Design and Construction
The lighter features a rounded ivory-colored body with a gently tapered upper section and an oval, egg-like profile. The exterior has a glossy finish, complemented by a metal top assembly with a classic mechanical lighter mechanism.
The upper section carries the Ronson name, while the underside of the metal mechanism includes the markings “RONSON,” “REGD TRADE MARK,” “MADE IN ENGLAND,” and “PATENTED.” The mechanism also bears the instruction “OPEN FOR FLINT,” indicating access to the flint area.
The bottom of the outer body is separately marked “RONSON,” “REGD TMD,” and “MADE IN ENGLAND.” These visible markings make the piece particularly interesting to collectors researching vintage British-made Ronson accessories.
