Varaflame by Ronson Vintage Lighter - Jet Design
Complimentary U.S. Shipping $100+ | International $350+
Offered here is a like-new Ronson Varaflame lighter, a mid-century masterpiece dating to the 1950s, manufactured in Woodbridge, New Jersey.
This piece comes from an inherited collection and was part of unsold inventory, preserving rare features rarely seen today—such as the original inspection sticker and the red safety tab still intact atop the lighter.
Finished in a striking gold-tone jet design, this model is among the more elusive configurations of the Varaflame line. The exact metal composition is unknown, but the sheen and weight suggest high-quality plating consistent with Ronson’s premium manufacturing of the era.
This is a genuine collector’s item in exceptional condition, and examples like this—especially with all original components—rarely surface in such preserved form.
Dimensions: ~2.1" x 1.25" x .5"
Please note: we do not test vintage lighters prior to shipping, as regulations prohibit us from sending them if they’ve been used or fueled. Even new old stock often requires a bit of tender loving care to become fully functional.
