Vintage Ronson Art Metal Works Touch Tip Clock Lighter Enamel Chrome Art Deco

Description

Very unique older desk lighter by Ronson Art Metal Works. This model of lighter was featured in the film Maltese Falcon. I put a picture at the end to show.  Features a clock in the front.  When the wand is pressed into the top lever, the mechanism turns and throws a spark.  The clock is set by pulling the crown out and then moving the hands. To wind the clock, turn the crown away.  I set the clock and wound it a few times. I checked the clock an hour later and it was fairly accurate, albeit a bit fast. This lighter features
chrome, brown enamel, and cream enamel.  Fairly heavy for it's size, has a nice sturdy feel to it.
About 4 inches tall and 4 inches wide.  This is a very old item, and shows patina and wear.
This is a used lighter, and shows some wear consistent with use, age, and storage, see pics. I never attempt to clean, modify, or repair any items. They are listed as found.  I will be selling some other lighters and vintage items, so be sure to check out other listings and keep checking. I"ll be adding more. Comes from a smoke free and pet free home. I"m not an expert on anything, please ask all questions before bidding and I'll answer to the best of my ability.
