A Collection of Vintage Table Lighters - A collection of vintage table lighters featuring bases in a variety of materials and styles. The assortment includes several examples with bases crafted from carved and polished stone, including striped and mottled green onyx. One lighter features a blue Jasperware-style ceramic base with white sprigged decoration depicting a coat of arms above a banner inscribed with the word LONDON. Another example has a faceted dark glass or crystal base with gilt foliate patterns, while another is housed in a silver-toned metal base with an embossed gadrooned design. The mechanical lighter inserts are constructed from gold-toned and silver-toned metal; one such silver-toned insert is incised with the name RONSON. The collection encompasses designs ranging from traditional Victorian-inspired forms to more geometric Art Deco and mid-century modern styles.
