The cleaning depends on the type of the dirt. MY GIRLFRIEND PURCHASED THE RONSON CROWN LIGHTER WITH THE FLAT TOP SNUFFER CAP AT A YARD SALE IN PERFECT CONDITION FOF.
I used the flint pusher to check that the hole was clear enough for a new flint. I used a real small drill bit and picked and twisted the bit into the old flint until it fell through, then i had to scrape around the edges of the hole to ensure the new flint would slide in properly. I bought one for $2 also and my flint hole was clogged. the hole the flint goes through is jammed with flint dust/corrosion, any idea what i should use to clean it out? I have a ronson crown i've just bought got it for one dollar (no joke). Today, while shopping at some of my favorite "junk" shops, I came across a Ronson "Crown" lighter -and bought it. Ironically, I was scouring your blog this morning while collection information on table lighters for a post that I'm working on. What kind of fluid/fuel does this lighter use? is it recommended to fill and attempt usage? thanks. I found a lighter and cigarette holder with a Ronson Crown label and a patent # of 2481195.
I would add the markings to the post if you just could rewrite everything what is on the bottom of the base. If the Ronson Crown has a flat top snuffer it was manufactured between 19. I've just purchased a ronson crown table lighter with a british, us and canada patent numbers, made in england and i cant find any info on it any ideas? i have a reg number if that helps. Though to be 100% sure I would need a picture of it! Do you know which lighter it goes with?īased on your description I would say it goes with Ronson Waldorf. I may have to start a touch tip collection just so I can again work with Robert, a very talented craftsman.I just purchased a silverplated tray with "Fashioned by Ronson Newark, NJ U.S.A." stamped on the bottom of it. I appreciate Robert’s prompt service, honesty and attention to all detail. Everything about this transaction went smoothly. Well, by 10-06-12 the lighter was returned to me in perfect working order. He responded the same day with the procedure of tune up and that if any additional work was required, he would contact me regarding costs before proceeding. Various relatives had made attempts to fix it, only making matters worse.
My father’s broken Ronson Touch Tip lighter had been sitting on the shelf long enough. Table models suffer from all of the above and are a bit more costly to repair due to using a lot of silver plated parts and it takes forever to get the packing out of a Ronson Queen Anne, replace the wick and put it all back in! In extreme cases the expansion will cause the flint tube to split all the way down into the fuel reservoir at which time the lighter becomes a display piece as it will never work properly unless the flint tube is replaced- which I do not do. Pocket models– usually require only simple repairs- new wick, new packing material, replacement of worn or damaged parts, new gasket, filler cap, flint screw, spring and end and the ever popular removal of frozen flints from the flint tube.įrozen flints are caused by moisture, spring pressure and time- some are easily removed, some very difficult- all require the lighter to be disassembled and worked on from the top so as to not damage the flint tube itself.
