A0000004569

Elegant Dunhill Unique lighter in gold-plated finish with a black lacquered central panel, dating from between the 1970s and 1990s. The piece presents a very good overall condition, maintaining an highly attractive aesthetic in line with its classic character.

The gold plating retains a warm, homogeneous shine, with slight signs of use visible mainly on edges and on commonly handled areas, consistent with the passage of time and careful use. No significant material losses are observed, maintaining a high-quality visual presence.

The black lacquered central panel is well preserved, with good color uniformity and finish. It may show micro-surface marks upon close inspection, without affecting its overall aesthetics or elegance.

The mechanical elements — wheel, lift-arm, and lid — function correctly, offering a firm and precise opening, as well as an effective spark. The mechanism feels solid, reflecting the build quality characteristic of Dunhill. Combustion is stable, as seen in the images, indicating proper operation of the set.

Overall, this is a well-preserved piece, fully functional and with honest wear appropriate to its age, ideal for both use and collection.

Maintenance recommendations

It is recommended to use high-quality lighter fuel and suitable flints to ensure optimal operation. Avoid impacts or drops that could affect the mechanism. Keep the lighter clean and store it in a dry place, away from moisture and extreme temperatures. If not in prolonged use, empty the reservoir to preserve internal components.

It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper conservation.

Happy bidding!
