I found this on a watchpage: Logo isE & J Swigart. Theyprovided replacement parts, etc. for clocks and watches in the 20th century fora number of years. Their logo was put on the replacement paper clock dials. Ican find that they were active from at least the early 1920's to at least the1950's, possibly some years on either side, for all I know. Ronson mayhave used a Swigart face or the face wasreplaced during that time frame. This lighter was manufactures in the late 30’s, so the timeframe fits. This lighter has been in storage from the late 70’s orbefore in the condition it is now.
