This vintage S.T. Dupont Ligne 1 Short lighter exemplifies the brand’s precision engineering and refined French design. Made in France, it features the timeless Godron (horizontal ribbed) pattern, a signature of Dupont’s elegant aesthetic. The base is engraved with “S.T. Dupont de PARIS,” “MADE IN FRANCE,” and the serial number, confirming authenticity. [Appearance] The body retains a bright metallic sheen with fine ribbed texture. Minor scratches and small marks consistent with age and use are present, particularly around the corners and roller, but the overall condition remains good and well-preserved. [Functionality] Ignition and flame operation have been tested and confirmed to function properly. The gas flow is stable, and there are no signs of leakage from the burner area. It is ready for use after refilling with quality butane gas. A fine collectible example of S.T. Dupont’s craftsmanship, combining timeless style with mechanical precision. Before shipping, ignition will be reconfirmed. Flint and gas will be removed before shipping. Please refill before use.
