Vintage Ronson Decanter Table Lighter – Ornate Brass Design – Sparks Strong – Untested

Step back in time with this vintage Ronson “Decanter” table lighter, an elegantly crafted collectible with a rich, antique brass finish and ornate Victorian-inspired detailing. Manufactured by Ronson in Newark, New Jersey, this iconic piece combines function with artistic form, making it a standout display item or an addition to any lighter collection.

The flint striker sparks reliably (see video), suggesting it only needs fuel to be fully operational. That said, this piece remains untested with fluid and is being sold as-is for display or restoration.

This lighter stands approximately 4.5 inches tall and features intricate scrolling along the base. The underside is clearly stamped:

RONSON®
Newark, N.J.
U.S. Patent RE19023
Canada Pats. 261,548–299,361
“Decanter”
Trade Mark
Made in U.S.A.

🔧 Please Note: The fuel screw (fuel reservoir cap screw) is missing. This doesn’t affect the spark function and likely won’t hinder use once fuel is added—but the part would need to be replaced for full restoration.

A perfect blend of craftsmanship and character, this piece makes a wonderful accent on a bar cart, bookshelf, or cigar lounge.
