Description from the seller
A true masterpiece of British luxury and engineering. This spectacular vintage gas pocket lighter belongs to the legendary Dunhill Unique collection, universally recognized as one of the most prestigious and mechanically fascinating lighter models ever created. Crafted in England, the body features a masterful finish with an exquisite, shimmering guilloché pattern ("barley" or honeycomb design) that beautifully catches the light, flanked by elegant polished edges. Equipped with Dunhill's iconic side-mounted roller ignition system, this object represents a sublime fusion of mechanical poetry and high-end elegance. A true gentleman's accessory exuding timeless class—an essential piece for discerning collectors of brands like Dunhill, Dupont, and Cartier, or an investment for standing out in everyday life. Technical Specifications: Brand: Dunhill (London). Model: Unique gas pocket lighter. Pattern/Finish: Intricate "Barley"/honeycomb guilloché pattern, heavy gold plating. Serial Number: 116859 (crisply engraved on the base). Origin: Made in England (mark clearly stamped on the base). [Condition and Authenticity] This Dunhill Unique is in excellent vintage condition. The gold-plated body retains a deep, warm, and brilliant luster across its entire patterned surface. It shows only minimal, microscopic surface signs of use (such as "hairline" marks) on the polished sections—consistent with careful handling and the object's age—with no dents or deep scratches. The base inscriptions (Dunhill Unique, Made in England) and serial number remain perfectly intact and crisp. The complex lid mechanism, the arm, and the ignition wheel operate with flawless smoothness. Guaranteed 100% authentic. Color: Intense yellow gold. Markings/Engravings: Fully engraved case back: "Dunhill Unique", "Made in England", brand emblem, and serial number "116859". Fully functional
The lot will be carefully packed and shipped via partner couriers. Shipping outside the European Community is not available for this lot.
