Holiday Notice 2024
I am away from the shop through the Holidays. I can respond to inquiries on the road, but I am not able to ship lighters. Have a great Holiday!
It seems some of my responses to inquires below get lost in aggressive email filters. If you don’t see a response within 24 hours – check your spam/junk/filtered folder. Thank you!
In an effort to make things easier to find, and to move some of the inventory around here, I’ve put together the stocking stuffers page. These are unique pocket lighters, that aren’t exactly common, in better than average shape, and work. Great gifts, for anyone, everyone, even yourself!
No surprises here, these have all been serviced, and work for sure, and spent some time lighting cigarettes right here in paradise!
EARLY RONSON DELIGHT POCKET LIGHTER-TAN CALFSKIN
This is an excellent example of a circa 1928-31 Ronson Standard Delight with tan calfskin wrap—with the “bicycle seat design mechanism” like new- in overall excellent condition- it has been tuned up and is ready to serve you well for years- just an all around great looking piece perfect for everyday use and surely nice enough to give to that special someone for the holidays- even if that is you!
Figure 14 in the Ronson books- cost for this piece is $150 including Priority Mail shipping anywhere in the US. For further information, please inquire!
EARLY RONSON DELIGHT POCKET LIGHTER-REVERSE ENGINE TURNING
This is an very nice example of a circa 1928-31 Ronson Standard Delight with a reverse engine turned motor car- the process involves removing the finish that becomes the background and leaves the image intact- a fairly involved process- and so very few of these were made–with the “bicycle seat design mechanism” – a very nice piece- it has been tuned up and is ready to serve you well for years- just an all around great looking piece perfect for everyday use and surely nice enough to give to that special someone for the holidays-especially for a collector as most do not have an example of this design in their collection- even if that is you!
Figure 14 in the Ronson books- cost for this piece is $275 including Priority Mail shipping anywhere in the US. For further information, please inquire!

Offered here is a 1950s Elgin American pocket lighter- modeled after the Ronson Adonis, it has a slide in insert that was made for Elgin by Ronson and carries the Ronson info on the insert- these usually came with a cigarette case in a matching finish- but this piece became an orphan some where along the way- in overall excellent condition it has been tuned up and is ready to serve you well for years- or perhaps grace your collection as a bit of an oddity. It works first time every time just like when it was new!
