Scripto Vu-Lighter, 1950
Manufacturer: Scripto Inc.
Title: Scripto Vu-Lighter
Type: Oil Lighters
Material: plastic and brass
Release year: 1950
Country: United States
Average price: $ 20-70
Lighter Scripto was one of the first plastic lighters, and it allows you to visually assess the amount of remaining fuel in it. Its mechanism is equipped with a system swap fuel to the wick, for this is a special button on the side of the lighter, and the wick itself was not constantly immersed in the fuel chamber. Such a mechanism virtually eliminates evaporation of gasoline, as in ordinary lighters where the wick was inserted directly into the fuel tank. Scripto - absolute champion of the tightness of petrol lighters that even now it is possible to find instances in which the 50-60 years remained petrol in the fuel chamber.

This model - one of the most mysterious in the line of gasoline Ronson mid-20th century. It was invented and patented by the designer of Art Metal Works Kaupmannom Frederick in 1945, and legend says that this is why this model is not bears the name «Ronson» - as all other models of the time were invented and patented by Louis Aronson. I know of two kinds of Rama-Spin, one released to obtain a patent, it is obvious in 1945 or early 1946, and the other after, and on the bottom has the patent number D145218. These models are not only inscribed on the bottom, including the designation of the manufacturer, but also other small construction details. Photos supplied in pairs: the old (before 1946) and new (1946 and later) model.
