Vintage 1936 Art Deco RONSON Bartender “Touch Tip” Lighter Here you have the hard to find, highly collectible 1936 Touch Tip Lighter Bartender. Made for Ronson by Artmetal Works Inc., Newark NJ. and ready for display in your collection.
The bartender is engraved and painted on metal and has a great design. He stands behind “the bar” ready to shake your cocktail. Bar is of chrome and "wood ...grain" finish metal bar, might be bakelite but I’m not sure. Has a tortoise appearance. This piece is styled so you can display it front or back since it is fully designed on sides.
The bartender sits back from the bar for a realistic visual. Side compartments open to allow for cigarette storage. Lighter parts move smoothly and theres minor, minimal wear throughout as noted in photos for its age. Please see photos as they are part of the description of this great piece. Right compartment hinge holds it slightly open but I bet someone could adjust for full closure. Painted bartender is crisp showing minimal paint loss and/or wear to the metal finish.
Measures about 7" tall, 6" wide and 3" deep.
This rare lighter displays beautifully. This vintage lighter has some fine scratches and normal corrosion consistent with the age of this collectible. I've only used this as a display piece as I'm not a smoker. The lighter seems to be unused. Fabulous!!!
