Default collection of lighters

Hi guys,

My uncle had given me several lighters that my grandpa had owned since I enjoy collecting them. Anyways, I was doing a little research on some of them since most of these lighters are at least 50 years old. I was able to find most of them except for one.

(I tried to embed the pictures but it didn't work!)

It's labeled as a KING crown, but a Google search for the company yielded nothing. Anyone have any insight into this company? It appears at one point it was gold plated or something.

Also, I have two old Ronson lighters that were made in England but a Google search said they were an American company, any help there? Lastly, there's a Flaminaire lighter. My mom says the it looks to be silver but it has a lot of tarnish.

Thanks for your help in advance
