Cigarette Box Set
This Ronson Rondelight lighter
from the mid-1930s is one of the rarer models.
This model combines a single
deco cigarette box with a pedestal-mounted Rondelight Baby lighter,
on a rectangular chrome base.
I'm not sure, but the base
and cigarette box look similar to the New Yorker and Baronet cigarette
box sets.

original, but looks very close to the original.

Rondelight
Figural Ballerina
This Ronson lighter was made
around 1935. Ronson made several table lighters using the Rondelight
Baby ball lighter (which is only 1-5/8" in diameter). Some
of these were figural lighters (a modern dancer, athletic figures)
and some of these were combination cigarette boxes and a lighter
or combination ashtray and a lighter.

These are three Ronson Rondelight
Baby lighters. These are the smallest of the Ronson Rondelight ball
lighters (about the size of a ping pong ball).
One has a black stripe, one
has a green stripe, and one has an ivory stripe.
