Attached
is a listing of Ronson Catalogs and literature I have collected over the last 33 years. In 1996 I sold my complete collection. The attached represents copies of
literature that I had extra copies made prior to the sale.
My
original collection had over 8,000 pages of documentation which was originally
assembled during the research for the Ronson Book and later expanded to include
Ronson catalogs from Japan
, Germany
, Italy
, Australia
, England
, Portugal
, Canada
, Mexico
, and France
. Without question, this was the largest and most
detailed Ronson documentation collection. Since it included many items from the
different factories around the world it will never be repeated or matched.
I
am also offering for the first time copies of my computer files (ACCESS
databases) which document and describe all known Ronson lighters produced from
1927-1994. Each lighter is described along with the source. The source for the
majority of the lighters is found in the
attached catalogs.
ART
METAL WARES - Art Metal Works was the original company founded by Louis V.
Aronson. The early products produced by the company were referred to as Art
Metal Wares. The 1924-1927 Catalog displays 784 individual items manufactured
by the company. To the best of my knowledge,
these were the first catalogs produced by Louis V. Aronson. These catalogs also are the first showing the
early lighters.
ADVERTISEMENTS
- This extensive collection comes from magazines advertised in by AMW and
Ronson throughout the world. It also includes early advertisements in the city
directory for Newark , NJ
the original plant location. CHECK
