This vintage lighter is so cool… I read some time ago, that with fewer and fewer people smoking, vintage smoking paraphrenalia will become more and more valuable. This sexy piece, mint-in-box, is a keeper!

Nothing makes smoking look cooler than these vintage smoking sets.
Vintage lighters? Hmmm. Does anyone else collect vintage ashtrays? I have about two dozen or so shaped like boomarangs and amoebas! And I don’t smoke. Weird huh?!?! I do have a few boxes of vintage looking candy cigarettes to put out for parties. I’m such a bad influence, ::sigh::. Someday those vintage ashtrays are going to be worth tens….yes TENS of dollars!!!! Ooo, except for my Sascha Brastoff which is already worth tens of dollars.
What about the bean-bag ashtrays?
Ronson was really with it back then. There was an entire line of decorator cigarette lighters. How about the “Can-Do?” That was the can opener with multiple attachments for mixing, knife-sharpening, etc. And the butane candles with the adjustable flames. I wish I had all of these. What ever happened to Ronson?
