something very difficult - made the British empire under American patent in Hong Kong ???
Made in England.
US Patent number so and so. Also it patented in Hong Kong.
Ronson around the world make their products from Canada and the United States but in England, Europe and Australia.
In Japan?
As told uv.Hartman ( http://vintagelighters.ru/forum/lighters-talks/oskolok-imperii-ronson-windlite-by-ronson-export-ltd-ili-inogda-oni-vozvraschayutsya/#p1426) , in Japan was essentially overbought manufacture, and then much later. During the heyday of Ronson about any Japanese speech it was not yet :)
Actually - easily. Hong Kong was the then British and marketing task was - to make a very cheap mass lighter. At that time, Hong Kong was not the cake, every kind of electronics and microchips only dreamed of and even make it easier for such things in Japan - then.
That zaputili machine in "Antikitae" get cheap, cheerful and quite well sold in the United States.
I would say that it was one of the best practices of the removal of production to the Asians at the time usually production carried to the Japanese, they then played the role of China today with the same copy, hammering on the copyright and all other delights of "lifting off its knees" - exactly to the moment when the words Made in Japan have become a symbol of quality and that it is extremely original-haytechno weight. And Ronson Co with the Japanese were old scores, several courts (lost Japanese) - in general, corporate pride pozvolyalya give production the Japanese, that found "their" Asians who can be trusted to do something simple, such as aluminum fliptopa .
But really it is now the Japanese are delayed at Ronson producing ofigitelnye dozen copies of old models, it's something! :))
Yeah.
And, by the way, is another important factor - while Ronson tailor in Japan - it is the non-kosher, in principle, a sin and a shame. About as now zhazhe LeCoultre watch, Made in China.
That is - would be perceived by the public as either a fake, enjoy both the fall sotoninskoe Ronson-a.
Where would such a purchase? Really liked the design!
good !!!
and it is available ??
This is not exactly, but it seems there are others of the same brand
But a question arose, Typhoon maintainable? I bought a lid laxity and soured flint until vkuril how to correct. I have an opinion? not to clench the wheel ...
Yuzer_Zyu, I repair this lighter is somewhat meaningless - it is there in fact a cheap, all made of aluminum. Flint, in any case you can always thin drill to drill, but the loosening of the cap do not know whether it is possible to correct. Perhaps not.
Thank you, Vladimir! Are you a super efficiency!
I just thought with your Hartman (I think) pereterku here on the site of maintainability Ronson Vindlayt as opposed Zippo-like lighters, and of repairing lighters me more interesting than that "makes sense." The process itself involves.
I understand :) Well, if you want to fix it, and probably the right hands can be almost anything - is another question, how much time and effort to spend it :)
And here's a cool moment, right now, I received a letter from a guy from whom I bought the Toko Tifun, and advised him to check out after Vintazhlayters.Ru that he did among the few still lighters bought some time ago, you, Mr ...
Well, I'm not surprised :) small world :)
Yes, even more cramped, last week I went a couple of times to Max in the studio at the Kuznetsk, where you have a major Internet ... I was hoping to see you live / learn, but is not necessary.
But naschet time / power - I wonder, do not you describe popadolos assembly / dismemberment Ronson Tifun anywhere else?
Gosha!! :))))))))))) Go even though there :) I'm not often, but still occasionally :)
What about a typhoon - no, I did not come across, even now I do not remember offhand what was on the design - but it can be understood by visual inspection. in particular, if there is factory riveting / soldering of the relevant details. if there is - it is clear that the repair of these units is complicated. but it seems to me that the plate that holds the lid, just there is soldered so that it replaced or corrected in any way. but I do not remember exactly, it is necessary to pick up a twist ...
Yeah Yeah, thanks for the invitation and naschet Tifuna - abruptly, see ...
and it can be repaired. The world is really close.
Hello, dear connoisseurs and collectors of lighters!
I did not find commercially Ronson lighter gas to push the side button, flint. Their earlier - in the Soviet Union did in my opinion in Kharkov and sold nearly 10 rubles.
I would be grateful for the help - where and how to buy! Thanks in advance! KH.
Constantine, enough of them happens at flea markets these lighters prototype called Ronson Comet, are both originals and clones Kharkov, Ronson made them several tens of millions if not mistaken, it was a popular model. In Moscow, you can go to the master Grigory house on Bolshaya Sadovaya three entrance through the arch into the courtyard at the store L'Etoile, and there will be advertising - in the basement and at the very end, it was like a few pieces that can be repaired. Can you refer me if Cho.
Tell me please, what other models ronson commercially available?

Call or email me yura_zaichikoff@mail.ru
