All four lighters are in vintage pre-owned condition with age-related signs of previous use, handling and storage.
There are varying degrees of surface scratching, rubbing, tarnishing, discolouration, marks and finish wear across the collection.
The silver-tone Ronson with the gold-coloured arrow shows particularly noticeable spotting and surface wear.
The presentation boxes and packaging also show age-related wear, marks, creasing and deterioration consistent with storage.
The lighters have not been tested and their working condition is unknown.
They may require fuel, flints, seals, servicing, replacement components or other attention before use.
No guarantee is therefore made regarding the operation, fuel retention or mechanical condition of any individual lighter.
They are being offered as collectables / display pieces / restoration projects / spares or repairs.
They will be supplied without fuel.
Please study all photographs carefully for the exact condition, markings, mechanisms, packaging and contents.
