vintage CASE RONSON LIGHTER
Can anyone shed any light on this Ronson lighter? I sure recognize the long tail C logo but not the person.
Re: vintage CASE RONSON LIGHTER
Looks like Buffalo Bill Cody. I don't know why he would be on the same piece of paper with the Case logo.
Re: vintage CASE RONSON LIGHTER
Thanks for responding. That's exactly who I thought it looked like. I bought it a few years ago at a flea market for $5.00 and have never been able to find anything on it.

Re: vintage CASE RONSON LIGHTER
I agree, Buffalo Bill Cody was what came to mind when I saw the picture. The Case logo looks modern (within the past 20-30 years or newer) to me.
Zippo now owns both Ronson and Case, and is still producing Ronson lighters I believe. So you might email Case consumer-relations@wrcase.com and ask them about your lighter.

I didn't know Case owned them as well. Good to know. I did do a little research on the lighter its self. Its whats known as the STANDARD model produced from 1928-1953
Re: vintage CASE RONSON LIGHTER
Yea Ken, thanks for the Case Consumer link, I will contact them
Re: vintage CASE RONSON LIGHTER
I just sent an email with a photo of the lighter to Case Consumer Relations. I cant wait to hear back from them. Thanks so much for that Ken!
Re: vintage CASE RONSON LIGHTER

Re: vintage CASE RONSON LIGHTER
I have my doubts that this came from Case (or Ronson or Zippo). I hope for the OP's sake it is, but it looks made up to me. The Case advertising looks much newer than 1953 to me.
Re: vintage CASE RONSON LIGHTER
To me it looks like a regular old long tail C logo. It could have been made up for sure. I don't know why though.
Re: vintage CASE RONSON LIGHTER
I've got to agree with Gunsil, I went back and looked at a book that shows the newer logos and it definitely looks more like a newer logo. Good catch on that.
Re: vintage CASE RONSON LIGHTER
After closer inspection the c is the only part of the logo that resembles the newer logos
