The Ronson Forum Table Lighter was manufactured only in England between 1964 and 1969. The base of the lighter is made of brass – partly satin and partly polished.
The lighter insert – the Varaflame – is gold-color-plated and has a fingertip flame control – at least two different versions of the flame control are known.

Any idea what the blue crystal on this is (besides decoration)? Would it be glass or crystal or paste? Thanks, P.C. (Toronto)
ReplyDeleteIt is probably a Rhinestone. Ronson made this lighter with a Rhinestone. Saw one that sold on line for $180.00
