Ronson Burned by Lighter Launch," Financial Times (London), Companies & Finance, October 16, 1997, p. 23. The Ronson Brand name is world renowned as being synonymous with expertly engineered products having unique and innovative designs and offering the consumer a desirable quality product. In 1910, AMW trademarked the name "Ronson," an abbreviation of the founder's name. This trademark was first used on toys and other products, rather than lighters. Elsewise, I can give you a rough estimate of original manufacture date within a decade or so of manufacture for Ronson Lighters.

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.” 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).

In 1913, Louis Aronson applied for a patent for a Liter (lighter), which was approved. In 1926 he released a new "automatic operation" Banjo lighter, which offered to both ignite and extinguish in a single push. [33] It was a great success, demand shortly exceeding supply, spurring Aronson to patent it and design other products around the invention, which were marketed under the Ronson brand name. [34] Under his leadership, the Art Metal Works began designing prototypes, and patented several generations of Igniting-Apparatus until finally arriving at the Banjo Lighter. Ronson received an exclusive patent, in 1926, for a new automatic style of lighter that worked with one hand, and in 1927 Ronson began marketing it as the Ronson De-Light Lighter with the slogan "A flip - and it's lit! Release - and it's out!" Originally based in New York City, the firm relocated to the rapidly growing, industry-friendly city of Newark, New Jersey, in 1897, when it was renamed Art Metal Works (AMW). In the same year, Aronson patented a "Safety Match" that used sulfur instead of phosphorus. Kathy Kaplan (1994-09-11).
