Ronson's place as a leader and pioneer in the manufacture of fine decorative metal wares from the 1900s to the mid-1930s is documented here. In addition to cigarette lighters, for which Ronson is most readily known, the company, then known as Art Metal Works, also produced a diverse selection of metal bookends, hood ornaments, statuary, aquarium & plant stands, clocks, pipe holders, desk sets & accessories, figurines, novelty items, lamps, boxes, toys, incense burners, and much more.
