Dupont 'Laque De Chine' Pocket Lighter

Fine yellow gold plated S.T. Dupont Ligne 1 gas lighter with beautiful navy blue lacquer inlay and two red lacquer Chinese characters, Circa 1970. Marked on the base ’S.T Dupont - de Paris - Made in France - Laque De Chine - with serial number P7HK09 and the Dupont makers mark. Serviced and in full working order.

The colour of the original Dupont gas refill that was required to refuel the lighter is painted red, green, blue or yellow (or left gold). Revealed on removal of the lighter’s refuelling cap either in the base of the lighter surrounding the filling valve or inside the refuelling cap itself.

S.T. Dupont recommends their own, higher-purity butane to prevent carbon buildup in the burner valve. Using cheap, "dirty" butane can clog the delicate mechanisms over time. If it is not possible to use official Dupont refills, opt for high-quality, ultra-refined third-party butane brands and a suitable nozzle adapter for your lighter. Incorrect adapters can damage the delicate filling valve and may not provide the correct pressure to refill the lighter.

Dimensions: 5.8 cm/2¼ inches tall X 3.5 cm/1⅜ inches wide X 1.4 cm/½ inch thick.
