Supposedly the Ronson slogan, "Lights first time, every time" then gave rise to a nickname of "Ronson" for the Sherman. There is a persistent myth that the M4 Sherman was criticised for its protection at the time on the basis that it tended to catch fire when hit. Part of the reason for this is in relation to WWII tanks. It would be great to list out all the great Ronson models some are listed in the text, but they are so numerous and noteworthy that it would probably be valuable to have its own section.ĭderitter ( talk) 19:50, 23 July 2010 (UTC)dderitter Slogans, dates and tanks?

Ronson expert 22:59, 10 August 2007 (UTC) New Ronson page started today. Vintage Ronson lighters and other products are highly collectible today. This page appears to refer to a UK branch that is out of business, and could be morphed or merged into a new page. The company that still makes Ronson cigarette lighters was founded in New York in 1886.
