Charming Ronson Striker lighter from 1935, designed in the form of a Basset Hound. This collectible piece combines the playful imagination of Art Deco design with the renowned craftsmanship of Ronson, one of the most innovative names in twentieth-century smoking accessories.
The lighter is mounted on a black enameled base and surmounted by a finely detailed chromium-plated hound figurine. Ingeniously engineered, the tail serves as a functional handle, allowing the user to operate the lighter with ease. The wand is immersed in lighter fluid and then struck against the flint positioned at the dog’s nose. NOTE : Flint not included.
Ronson’s novelty figural lighters from the interwar years are highly prized by collectors today, both for their sculptural appeal and their ingenious functionality. The 1935 Basset Hound Striker represents one of the most desirable models of its era, embodying the wit, style, and precision that made Ronson a leader in the field of luxury tobacciana.
