A0000005610

S.T. DUPONT LINE 1 SMALL BUTANE LIGHTER (PARIS, c. 1970s-80s): We present at auction an authentic symbol of French luxury and sophistication. This magnificent S.T. Dupont lighter belongs to the legendary Line 1 of the Parisian Maison, offered in its most sought-after and versatile format: the Small size, ideal for discreetly carrying in a pocket or purse.

The piece is a true visual jewel thanks to its radiant gold plating, which is entirely worked in the classic Diamond Point pattern. This intricate network of tiny pyramids not only provides an exceptionally comfortable and non-slip grip, but also catches the light from any angle, creating hypnotic flashes.

On its lower base you can see all the original manufacturing marks: the cursive signature "S.T. Dupont - PARIS - MADE IN FRANCE" and, on the bottom edge, its unique serial number hand-embossed (1J4BN89), guaranteeing absolute authenticity and pedigree.

Condition (Expert Review)
The piece is in magnificent aesthetic and mechanical condition:

Metal and Aesthetics: The gold plating remains radiant. It shows no structural hits, dings, or severe wear on the edges of the diamond pattern. Only ultra-light signs of careful use over the decades.

Mechanism: The knurled roller turns firmly and the lid opens and closes with absolute precision. As demonstrated in the first photograph in the gallery, the lighter produces a flame and works perfectly. (Expert note: For international postal safety regulations, the lighter will be shipped with the gas reservoir emptied; the buyer will need to refill it for normal use).

(Prospective bidders are asked to view the photo gallery in detail, as it forms an essential part of the piece’s expert description. The item is shipped without a case).

Shipping
The item will be carefully protected and securely packaged, with insured shipping and an international tracking number.

An exquisite opportunity to add an authentic "bar of gold" of Parisian high jewelry to your collection or to dazzle in daily use! Good luck to all bidders!
