This is not a Ronson item,…
This is not a Ronson item, it was manufactured at the Gebr. Schmidt factory in Idar-Oberstein, Germany for the Jewish company L.S.Mayer, who exported it worldwide. It was designed and produced initially in 1936, with an LSM logo and registration numbers stamped on the back of the bartender. If your example has no marks, then it most probably dates to after the war in the 1950s, after LSM’s registered design had expired. There is evidence that these items may have been reproduced by Gebr. Schmidt as late as the early 1960s.
