Feuerzeuge Ronson Varaflame Mini Gun Metal

Product Information

If your lighter only has 1 screw, It’s a flint screw, and the base rotates for fueling. If the lighter has no screws, it’s an insert that slides out of the body, you’ll find the flint screw, and probably cotton for fueling in there (like a zippo). I’ve had a couple people tell me about “my” videos online. The above general maintenance and testing video is the only video I’ve published that isn’t marketing or showing off. I’m aware of the videos from the “repairman.” As with the Art Metal Works output, many well-built and stylish early Ronson lighters demand high prices in the collectibles marketplace.

Unscrew that and add some lighter fluid.

During the 1970s, Ronson came under increasing pressure from new competition in its core US and UK markets. The main company never returned to profitability, and the different units were soon spun off as independent companies or sold to competitors. Louis V. Aronson was born in New York City on Christmas Day 1869 to Jewish immigrant parents. He was drawn to metallurgy at a young age, and in the 1880s developed the Ormolu process of gold plating. During World War II, the company's output was directed towards military products, including, appropriately, flame throwers, as well as fuses for bombs and small components for the aircraft industry. GI humor used the Ronson name as an epithet for the M4 Sherman tank, which caught fire easily when hit. The company's slogan then was "always lights the first time." Ronson's own factory in England was nearly destroyed by German bombing; due to its strategic importance, it was relocated to an old boarding school in London.

Between the mid-1950s and mid-1960s, Ronson diversified its manufacturing, particularly in the United States, into a wide range for consumers and industry. These included such obvious spinoffs as torches and lighter fluid and extended into specialized pneumatic and hydraulic valves for the aerospace industry. Ronson also extended the brand into the bathroom with shavers, toothbrushes, and hair dryers, and into the kitchen with carving knives, blenders, can openers, and other appliances.
