Ronson Gloria Table Lighter, 1952

The Ronson Gloria was first manufactured in 1952. The production went on till 1954 in Newark (USA). It is heavy silver-plated (partly polished and satin) and uses the same lighter fitment as the Ronson Juno, Leblanc Clarinet Bell and Ronson Penciliter. The lighter insert is removable.

The pattern used at the bottom of the base is very similar to that used in the Ronson Queen Anne which makes the cigarette urn of the Queen Anne also a good match.

The base is padded with cork. The silver plate is protected by a transparent lacquer.
