An exceptional and very beautiful desk piece, created in New Jersey United States by The Ronson Co. during the art deco period, back in the 1935. This is an extremely rare barman dispenser box with an integrated touch tip lighter. It was designed with strong geometric patterns and crafted in solid steel. Embellished with black, creme, red and brown lacquers, creating a great contrast with the high polished steel. Mounted in a wood base attached to the bar. The Ronson Bartenders are one of the most coveted and collectable pieces made by Ronson, prized by Art Deco, Black Americana and of course Lighter collectors around the world. They came in at least three versions; a male Bartender striker with only one cigarette compartment, a female Bartender Touch Tip with a half round bar- called the Junior Bartender by Lighter collectors and the male Bartender like this with Touch Tip featuring 2 cigarette storage areas in the bar that lift the cigarettes as the lids are opened.
