Vintage Ronson Lighter with Glomesh style metal mesh, made in Japan

This is a vintage Ronson lighter with Glomesh-style metal mesh construction, manufactured in Japan. This represents a collaboration between the renowned American Ronson brand and Japanese manufacturing during the era when many lighter companies moved production overseas for cost efficiency.
This is a Ronson butane lighter featuring the distinctive honeycomb metal mesh pattern popularized by Glomesh accessories in the 1960s-70s. The lighter has a gold-tone finish with a sleek oval top section bearing the Ronson logo on black. The body is wrapped in the characteristic flexible metal mesh that creates an elegant textured surface. The base is clearly marked “RONSON JAPAN” indicating it was manufactured during Ronson’s Japanese production period, likely 1970s-1980s. The lighter appears to be a refillable butane model with the typical Ronson quality construction but at a more accessible price point due to overseas manufacturing. The mesh shows good condition with minimal wear.
