Both models were offered in Engine turned and enamelled combinations with Chromium & Rhodium plating. The Majorette has been seen in English Ronson catalogs named as "Majestic". These lighters look similar but are two different models, top row are Majorettes and the bottom row are Regals. Offered in Engine turned and enamelled finishes. Two different versions were produced with the main differences being two sided enamel and smaller filler & flint screws. This fitment was also used on the Lytacase case lighter combination. Here Ronson has designed a totally different looking lighter with Diamond shaped cut out pattern below the sleak square fitment. It was a thin design with fine lines, produced with art deco enameled designs and platings in Rhodium and Chromium. Heres a classy lighter Ronson called the Fine Line.

My personal favorites are from the Art Deco period starting in the late 1920's through the 1930's. Although other American companies did produce automatic lighters, they stopped production or paid a royalty to Ronson for the right to do so. The lighters shown here are the Automatic style that Ronson held exclusive patents on until 1952. Ronson Art Metal works produced probably the finest made American Lighter starting shortly after the turn of the century.
