Hello- and welcome to the website- my name is Bob Adams and I have been the proprietor of Ronson Repair since its inception 20 or so years ago–and I have finally reached the point in time when I have turned over the bulk of the work to my son Russ- who has been working on lighters almost as long as I have–I still see all the inquiries so if you are one of many of the great customers I have had over the years I will still answer your inquiries- but the bulk of the work is now being done by my son Russ– who has the talent– and the pile of parts- to provide you with the same excellent service and repair as always.
I am a member of OTLS & LCGB and have been for many years- dedicated to the collection of all types of lighters and lighting devices and to the sharing of many years of knowledge accumulated by some of the finest people in the lighter community who also own, swap and sell some of the most collectible lighters on the planet. Although tobacco and it’s accoutrements are currently “out of favor” among the general public, – indeed many collectors do not now or may have never smoked, snuffed or chewed, there is a strong worldwide demand for almost everything related to tobacco and its use, not the least of which are the various fire making devices– lighters- of all kinds, shapes, and designs- from the basic pocket Zippo to the elaborate Art Deco designs that sat on hostess’ tables to gentleman’s smoking rooms and clubs to the local tobacco store- for lighting your favorite smoke as soon as you completed your purchase.
