RONSON Banjo Chrome Satin Oil Lighter R01-1040

The RONSON Banjo is one of the most iconic lighters ever created, renowned as the world's first automatic lighter with one-touch ignition. Originally introduced in 1927, its innovative mechanism transformed lighter design and established the Banjo as a legendary name among collectors and smoking enthusiasts worldwide.

Inspired by the shape of the musical instrument from which it takes its name, the Banjo's distinctive silhouette remains virtually unchanged from the original design. This modern Japanese-made version faithfully preserves the classic form and satisfying mechanical operation that made the Banjo famous.

Finished in elegant Chrome Satin, this model offers a refined, understated appearance with a smooth satin texture that complements the lighter's timeless design. The updated RONSON logo adds a fresh touch while respecting the heritage of one of the most celebrated names in lighter history.

Manufactured in Japan by Windmill, a company known for precision lighter craftsmanship, this Banjo continues the spirit of innovation and quality established by Louis V. Aronson more than a century ago.
