Product Description
Type Vintage all-in-one pencil and lighter in very nice working condition.
Product Name Penciliter ... this is the second generation version.
Manufacturer and Year Ronson, made in USA - 1948-57
Length 5-7/16"
Filling System It takes 0.9mm (or "Thin") leads which it extends via the traditional twist mechanism (you twist the cone). We'll include a small pack of leads.
Color Rhodium ("a precious non-tarnishing metal of the Platinum Group", according to the box) plated finish looks like shiny chrome. It has a lined pattern surface except for the cone and the lighter mechanism that are smooth.
Condition Excellent condition, in box, with paperwork and with small cleaning brush. This is a hefty mechanical pencil/cigarette lighter that is exceptionally shiny and uniquely designed. The industrial clip serves as the trip for the lighter. The pencil body has light to some moderate microscratching. There is a small blotchy scratch just above the cone (it looks like a cluster of small dots). The cone has moderate microscratching. The clip has a few tiny black pits along the side edges and there is a bit of corrosion around the right hinge of the lighter. The small brush included in the box has corrosion all over but it is usable. All imprints are clear.
