Ronson Lighters: A Spark from the Past, Reignited

For vintage lighter collectors, few names carry the legacy and craftsmanship of Ronson. Founded by inventor Louis V. Aronson, the company began as Art Metal Works in Newark, New Jersey, and quickly became a trailblazer in lightweight design. While early models, such as the Pist-O-Liter, sparked interest, the release of the Ronson Standard in 1926 truly set the brand ablaze in collector lore.

The Ronson Standard introduced the world to the "one-motion" lighter, igniting and producing a flame with a single press. This innovation became a reality with U.S. Patent No. 1,682,347, granted in 1928, and became the gold standard in form and function. With its sleek Art Deco styling and engineering precision, the Standard wasn’t just a tool; It became an icon.

Today, original Ronson lighters remain highly sought after by collectors who appreciate their mechanical charm and timeless design, but finding one in working condition is a challenge. That’s where Timeless Spark comes in.
