Ronson Art Metal Works was founded in Newark, New Jersey, in 1897 by Louis V. Aronson. While initially focused on metal novelties, Ronson became particularly famous for its innovative lighters, including the " Varaflame" and "Windlite" models. The company also produced a range of other metal accessories, such as cigarette cases, ash trays, and decorative holders, often featuring elaborate designs that appealed to the Art Deco and mid-century modern aesthetics. During the mid-20th century, decorative desk sets and smoking accessories were highly sought after. A matching set comprising a lighter and a cigarette holder or decorative vase would have been considered a stylish and functional addition to a home or office. The ornate detailing on these Ronson pieces suggests they were intended as premium items, reflecting the era's appreciation for craftsmanship and decorative metalwork. Weight 1-lb 3 ounces
