I have a Ronson and a few others (http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb413/chthulhu/Pencils/02%20Gimmicks/Cigarette%20Lighters/Lighters_02_IMG_2427_zpsbff8a43f.jpg). I think the Ronson is the most attractive of the lot, but they're just curiosities to me.

 

Interesting collection. And a fun subject to collect. Did the have a wick with petrol? or a small liquid gas chamber?

A wick, a flint and striker, and naptha for fuel. All of those are liquid-fueled.

Are there any fountain pen lighters? I'd dig one.

My other collections are lighters, cameras and gramophone needle tins, so anything that bridges the gap (lighters shaped like pens, lighters shaped like cameras) is in my cupboard. I have a Pencilighter; never seen a fountain pen one though (although you'd think someone would have put them together!).

I don't recall ever seeing a fountain pen and lighter combo; lots of pencil-lighter combos, though, of which the Ronsons are the best made. The later streamlined ones are the most common, but I'm partial to the early ones which are chunky and often have colorful celluloid barrels -- very steampunk look to them.

Celluloid and lighters? What an interesting combination.

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
