Ronson Touch - Tip Octette - Black Plastic (Ronsonoid) - No Wand - Fig. 160
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:4568131 | Modified Item: No |
| Country/Region of Manufacture: United States |
This Octette has a black plastic body (which Ronson called Ronsonoid). There's no monogram shield on it.
This Touch-Tip is missing the wand but I had a different wand (it doesn't fit in this) and pushed down the button mechanism and there is a spark. If you are interested in a reproduction wand for this Touch-Tip I can provide you with the name and email of the person who has reproduction wands.
The Octette was first manufactured by Ronson in 1935. This one has a rectangular ...cover over the flint wheel which indicates a pre-WWII model. After WWII, Ronson used a half-circle cover over the flint wheel.
From Urban Cummings' personal collection.
Please see above for condition description and be sure to look at all the photos.
I don't repair lighters and can only tell you this one does spark.
Selling as is.
Email with any questions. Buyer to pay shipping. Payment to be received within 3 days of auction ending. Thanks for looking!
