WW2 Canadian Ronson Cigarette Lighter and Case

The WW2 Canadian Ronson Cigarette Lighter and Case is a period-authentic smoking accessory originating from World War II. Manufactured by Ronson, a well-known producer of lighters, this set features a compact metal lighter housed within a matching protective case. The lighter is constructed from durable metal typical of 1940s manufacture and designed for repeated use, reflecting the period’s emphasis on sturdy personal effects for military personnel. It operates using a flint and wheel ignition system and is refillable with lighter fluid, consistent with wartime models. The case often bears subtle markings, such as “Ronson” or other manufacturer details, and was intended to shield the lighter from damage during transit or field use. These items were commonly issued to or privately purchased by Canadian soldiers for practicality and convenience. The design reflects the utility items favored by Allied forces during the conflict and provides insight into everyday life for Canadian servicemen of the era.
