New Yorker Lighters

Friday, March 16th, 2007

The New Yorker fitment was first produced in the late 1920’s and was used with many figures and as a stand alone lighter with Bakelite, Onyx or Metal base. The lighter below is a good example, Ronson originally produced the Speed Nymph figure as a hood ornament in the 1910’s and later modified the figure with the removable New Yorker lighter fitment. It is believed that there are 51 different designs which used the New Yorker fitment.

 New Yorker Standing Nude 1931

Graceful Nude woman mounted on a circular base in nickel plate. Her hair is sweeping back, as if in the wind, and her arms are outstreched holding the lighter.

 Nude Girl with New Yorker Lighter & Ashtray 1929

Exceptional example of the wonderful items which came from the ROnson factoies. In this case a young looking nude gilr is tastefully rendered holding a tray which containes the removable New Yorker Lighter. The pottery ashtray in base missing in this picture.

 New Yorker with Double Cigarette Boxes 1931

Very stylish and functional design with Cedar lined Cigarette boxes on eith side of the removable New Yorker Lighter. Chrome plated and enamelled.

 New Yorker & Pikacig Penguin 1930

Interesting concept for a automatic cigarette dispenser which Ronson named Pik-A-Cig. There are two levers on the side which, when squeezed together, activate the mechanism. The penguin leans forward as the drawr on the cigarette box opens, the Penguin’s beak then grabs the cigarette and returns with it to the upright position. Removable New Yorker lighter mounted in base.

 New Yorker Bakelite/Metal 1929

New Yorker Lighters, one on a Green Bakelite Base and the other on an Orange bakelite base. Other Bakelite colors were produced. Green Metal version also made in other enameled metal finishes.

 Baronette & Cigarette Box 1929

New Yorker Lighter fitment in Baronette base with attached Cigarette Box with art deco decorations.

 Ballerina & Ashtray, 1934

This is the Ballerina figure usually seen with a Rondelight Baby lighter or Striker lighter but in this model a removable New Yorker Lighter has been fitted into the arms of the figure. A pottery ashtray would have sat in the base.

New Yorker Lighter - Black Caddie, 1929

The Black Caddie figure is rarely seen and was also made as a Striker lighter. In this model a removable New Yorker Lighter has been fitted into the golf bag on the shoulder of the Caddie figure. Dark brown enamel finish with white eyes and red lips.

 New Yorker Lighter - Camel, 1929

Popularized in the 1920’s with the discovery of King Tut’s Tomb, Egyptian Revival was all the rage. In this case a modified Camel incense burner, dated 1923, was fitted with a very early version “milk-jug” shaped & removable canister which holds the new yorker fitment. Two camels are known to date and both are in Ronson’s Royal Bronze finish.

New Yorker Lighter - Elephant, 1929

Popularized by circus performances and specifically Jumbo the Elephant, Americans seem to always love Elephants. A large size Elephant with removable New Yorker fitment mounted in back.

New Yorker Lighter - Borzoi, 1929

Dogs have always been associated with sporting and liesure time activities. In this example the removable New Yorker fitment is mounted on a holder which is attached to the handsome Borzoi dog figure. Notice the attention to detail in the treatment of the fur.

About AK 47

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

About AK 47

Description:
The original AK was also known as the AK-47. It was a gas-operated, selective-fire weapon. Like all 7.62-mm Kalashnikov assault rifles, it fired the Soviet 7.62 x 39-mm M1943 round and used a standard 30-round curved box magazine. The AK came in two versions: one with a fixed wooden stock, and another, the AKS, with a folding metal stock issued primarily to parachutist and armor troops. Except for the differences in the stock and the lack of a tool kit with the AKS, the two version were identical. The early AKs had no bayonet, but the version with the fixed wooden stock later mounted a detachable knife bayonet.
The improved model, known as the AKM, is easier to produce and operate. It weighs about one kilogram less than the AK. The reduced weight results from using thinner, stamped sheetmetal parts rather than machined, forged steel; laminated wood rather than solid wood in the handguard, forearm, pistol grip, and buttstock; and new lightweight aluminium and plastic magazines. Other improvements include a straighter stock for better control; an improved gas cylinder; a rate-of-fire control alongside the trigger; a rear sight graduated to 1,000 meters rather than 800 meters; and a greatly improved, detachable bayonet.
The AKM also has a folding-stock version, designated AKMS, intended for use by riflemen in armored infantry combat vechicles such as the BMP. Except for its T-shaped, stamped-metal, folding buttstock, the AKMS is identical to the AKM. The folding-stock model can reduce its length from 868 to 699 millimeters.
Capabilities:
All 7.62-mm Kalashnikov assault rifles fire in either semiautomatic or automatic mode and have an effective range of about 300 meters. At full cyclic rate, they can fire about 600 rounds per minute (upto 640 rounds per minute for the AKM), with a practical rate of about 100 rounds per minute fully automatic or 40 rounds per minute semiautomatic. Both the AK and AKM can mount a grenade launcher. Both can have passive image intensifier night sights. Both can function normally after total immersion in mud and water. The fully chromed barrel ensures effective operation even at very low temperatures. The muzzle of either weapon fits into the swiveling firing points of the BMP. Thus, the infantryman can fire the weapon while the vechicle is moving.
Limitations:
The most serious drawback to the AK and AKM is the low muzzle velocity (710 meters per second) of the relatively heavy 7.62-mm round. This results in a looping trajectory that requires a clumsy adjustment for accuracy at ranges beyond 300 meters. The barrel overheats quickly when the weapon fires for extended periods, making the weapon hard to handle and occasionally causing a round to explode prematurely in the chamber. The exposed gas cylinder is easily dented, sometimes causing the weapon to malfunction.
Remarks:
Although they designed it in 1947 and thus referred to it as the AK-47, the Soviets actually adopted the AK in 1949. The AK entered service in 1951. It was the basic individual infantry weapon of the Soviet Army until the introduction of the AKM. The Soviets developed the AKM in 1959. It entered service in 1961. All 7.62-mm Kalashnikov assualt rifles are very dependable weapons. They produce a high volume of fire and are simple to maintain. However, the new 5.45-mm assault rife AK-74 is replacing the 7.62-mm weapons.

The following data comes from Janes Infantry Weapons 1995 - 1996.

Cartridge: 7.62 x 39 mm

bolt Feed: 30-round detachable box magazine
Weight: 4.3 kg Length: 869 mm
Barrel: 414 mm Rifling: 4 grooves,
rh, 1 turn in 235 mm
Sights: fore, post, adjustable;
rear, U-notch, tangent Muzzle velocity: 710 m/s
Rate of fire: cyclic, 600 rds/min Effective range: 300 m
