This is a beautiful classic art deco Ronson "Touch-Tip Deluxe" lighter from the 1930's.It has never been used and remains in excellent plus condition.

It has a black enamel and shiny chrome finish with a beautifulstreamlined design. It advertises "Yellow Coach", an early American bus manufacturer:

Yellow Coach Manufacturing Company A Fifth Avenue Coach Company and Surface Transit Yellow Coach Z-BH-602 model.

The Yellow Coach Manufacturing Company (later Yellow Truck & Coach Manufacturing Company, informally Yellow Coach) was an early manufacturer of passenger buses in the United States. It was founded in Chicago as a subsidiary of the Yellow Cab Company in 1923 by John D. Hertz. General Motors purchased a majority stake in 1925, changing its name to 'Yellow Truck and Coach Manufacturing Company. They then bought the company outright in 1943 merging it into their GM Truck Division to form GM Truck & Coach Division. During its twenty-year existence, Yellow Coach built transit buses, electric-powered trolley buses, and parlor coaches.

Its car rental subsidiary (known both as 'Hertz Drivurself Corp' or 'Yellow Drive-It-Yourself') was purchased back by John Hertz in 1953 through The Omnibus Corporation and floated the following year as The Hertz Corporation.

It measures 4" long by 2-1/4" across by 4" tall .

It is in very nice condition with nearly all of its enamel shiny and intact, and chrome free of any pitting as is often seen. There are two specks of black gone that I see, on base below the "Yellow Coach" emblem.

It has is original Ronson wand, with a still white Ronson wick. With a little fuel "petrol" itcan be used and enjoyed.
