This vintage S.T. Dupont Ligne 1 Short lighter demonstrates the brand’s exceptional craftsmanship and timeless Parisian design. Made in France, it features a distinctive vertical-line textured pattern that reflects light beautifully, giving it a refined and masculine aesthetic. The base is engraved with “S.T. Dupont de PARIS,” “MADE IN FRANCE,” and its serial number, ensuring authenticity. [Appearance] The body maintains a strong metallic shine with elegant texture throughout. Some light scratches, small marks, and slight discoloration can be seen, mainly around the corners and roller area, consistent with age and gentle use. Overall, it remains in very good vintage condition. [Functionality] Ignition and flame operation have been tested and confirmed to work properly. As with most vintage S.T. Dupont lighters, refilling with quality butane gas and performing occasional maintenance are recommended for optimal long-term use. A fine collectible piece representing S.T.
