Free shipping within the USA via USPS. Payment - Paypal Friends and Family. International shipping possible, at buyer's expense.

A note about vintage lighters: I have found that buying vintage lighters is challenging. If the seller does not state it is a working lighter, it is most likely broken. Beyond that, 90% of the time lighters I purchase require a significant amount of servicing before they are ready for use. These lighters I am offering here are the best of the best. They have been serviced and every nook and cranny cleaned/polished.

1960s NEW OLD STOCK Ronson Lite Guard w/ Original Box and Inspection Sticker $109
This one was just completely overhauled. Although it is "New Old Stock", the seals needed replacing. This is now flawless in every way. It even comes with its original inspection sticker!




1960s Mint Ronson Premier w/ Original Box and Pamphlet $109
This beauty comes from my personal collection. I have owned it and used it regularly over the past few years. I recently completed an overhaul on this lighter, with all internal components (valves and seals) changed out and brand new UK-made parts utilized. Externally, it has always been near perfect. The two-tone finish on this (silver with black enamel) is fairly rare and quite striking. Even the packaging is near mint. This one is a time traveler!

1970s MINT French-Made 'Silver Match' Pipe Lighter $99
This French-made lighter is unique. I have not seen another example of one like it. I purchased this one from a dealer out of France. It is flawless! The original box is made of wood and painter silver.




1970s French-Made 'Silver Match' $59
I imported this from Europe. It is a super-charming lighter. It shows some patina, but it only adds to it's charm IMHO. These are very rarely seen on the American market... especially in perfect working condition.

How do you fill these up? Regular butane can or is an adapter needed?

How do you fill these up? Regular butane can or is an adapter needed?

I keep all of these lighters fueled up with Ronson Butane (without an adaptor). These canisters are pretty much ubiquitous. I pick them up at my local hardware store and they are available on Amazon as well.
