Vtg Ronson, Colibri & Scripto Lighters - A collection of vintage pocket lighters featuring various ignition mechanisms, each presented in a manufacturer-branded box. The set includes a gold-tone lighter with a radial sunburst pattern; the interior satin liner of its blue case features blue printed text reading Colibri, ELECTRO-QUARTZ, No Flint, No Battery, and No Spark Wheel (photo 6). A second Colibri lighter is finished in dark gunmetal with vertical ribbing, featuring the Colibri name on a central silver-tone band; its gray case has a white liner with black printed text identifying the model as an ELECTRO-QUARTZ (photo 4). A silver-tone Ronson Varaflame Standard lighter with a textured basketweave case is housed in a tan box with a red printed liner marked BUTANE, RONSON, VARAFLAME, and STANDARD (photo 5). A slim silver-tone pocket lighter with an engine-turned cross-hatch pattern is paired with a black textured box containing a gold-tone plate reading BUTANE LIGHTER SCRIPTO, INC. (photo 3). The exterior of this black box features the Scripto name in silver-tone script and a small piece of tan adhesive tape marked with the number 6 (photo 7). The final lighter is a gold-tone model with a smooth finish and a small etched insect motif; it is housed in a brown box with a liner printed in black reading FLAMEX, Tempest, and PIEZO ELECTRONIC (photo 2). The front of this lighter also features an illegible script monogram (photo 2). The pieces appear to be constructed from plated base metals.
