Early in the 1930’s Ronson designers were hard at work developing new lighter fitments. The Touch Tip mechanism was a real triumph for Ronson and became an overnight success. The basic operation consists of a wand that carries the flame to your objective and the mechanism that produces the spark to ignite the wands tip. The body of each lighter contains a reservoir of Lighter Fluid to facilitate many lights and infrequent fillings. The new mechanism worked wonderfully and Ronson combined it with many related smoking accessories like Humidors and cigarette boxes, Pipe rests and holders and Clocks and Pen rests.
