The Ronson PENCILITER is a high quality pencil combined with a cigarette lighter, launched before the war and continued in production afterwards. This model is pre-war, c1938, rhodium plated (so does not tarnish) and in full working order and complete with the blue “leather-like” covered metal case. The case still has the price label in the case “$10” and “NO Fed TAX”. The indicia has a name neatly engraved “Paul”. The pencil takes 1.1mm leads and the lighter uses standard lighter fuel. The Penciliter is 14.4cm, substantial and very high quality. This one is in excellent working condition.
The Penciliter was advertised at Christmas as an ideal present to give a husband or father. The postwar advertisements included the line “ For every smoker who writes …….. For every writer who smokes”.

I gave up smoking more than 50 years ago but I have tested the lighter and it works perfectly. If only I had known about it when as a student I kept my studies going with cigarettes and chocolate bars.
