This vintage S.T. Dupont lighter is a fine example of the brand’s early craftsmanship. Belonging to the Ligne 1 series, it features a slim rectangular form with a horizontal line engraving pattern that highlights its minimalist elegance. The base is engraved with the S.T. Dupont logo, “Made in France,” and the unique serial number E5AK88, certifying its authenticity. [Appearance] The lighter displays a horizontal line guilloché pattern across the body, offering a refined and timeless look. There are visible signs of wear, including scratches, slight discoloration, and plating wear around the edges, consistent with its vintage nature. Nonetheless, the engravings remain sharp, and the piece retains strong presence as a collectible. [Functionality] Basic functions have been tested (spark and ignition confirmed). As with all vintage lighters, long-term use may require refilling with gas or professional servicing. This lighter is suitable both as a practical accessory and as a collectible display piece. Before shipping, ignition will be reconfirmed. For safety reasons, the lighter will be shipped without gas. Please refill before use. The test flint used for ignition confirmation is not included.
