2002.133.1.1Description
Color: Silver
A Ronson Delight lighter, 1928. The artifact has a strike mechanism that is pressed by a lever, lifting a cover through which the flame exits. On one side of the barrel is a raised oval panel, but without other ornamentation. On the bottom are two access points, one to fill the container with lighting fluid and which says "FILL HERE." The other access has the name and city of the manufacturer on it. To the right is the product name and patent numbers. Aside from some scratches to the surface, some tarnish, and some residue collected beneath the strike mechanism, the artifact has little evidence of wear or damage and is in good condition.Lexicon
