Looking to buy

Hello everyone,

some days ago I bought quite cheaply this black laquer L1 that seemd in decent shape, my idea was to service, rehaul it and then resell with a good margin but... it leaks from the gas valve, and the gas valve is a non Dupont one stuck there by someone at a certain point.

Does anyone here has any experience in disassembling this kind of valve? I'd start looking for a screw that will lock into it, but any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

This belonged to my grandfather and I’m trying to find out whether it is authentic and its value . Thanks in advance for any help and insight.

Looks like the watchmaker I bought a desk from had a thing for lighters also.

Some details: Both indicate requiring GREEN butane adapter

$450/ea or $800 for both, fair and reasonable offers accepted.

Shipping to CONUS only, shipping from Virginia.

(See photos) I purchased this lighter from an antique dealer, complete with only the red booklet, as he wrote in the ad. After purchasing it, I looked at the last page of the booklet and read that it was printed in December 1996, meaning the lighter was manufactured later. Then, in the box, I saw that tab (indicated by the arrow). I lifted it, and the entire base rose up, revealing the presence of the Service Center booklet and the Warranty stamped by the original seller: December 16, 1998! Now I know for certain that the lighter was manufactured in 1997 or 1998.

Hey everyone!

I've been trying to research this lighter that I received from my late uncle in Japan. I'm not familiar with these lighters at all, and am curious to learn more about it and its potential value.

It looks like it hasn't been used much, but is not "as new". From what I've found so far, it looks to be this model: 14201, made some time in the early 1970s.

It came in its original box with two manuals, one English and one Japanese. Does it being a Japanese export version with original booklets make it more valuable?

I wonder if this is interesting to anyone? I am open to selling it as well, but I am hoping to learn more as well.

Thank you all for your help and interest!

Best regards

I can never figure out the new lighters

My fathers or uncles, probably over 30 years old. I know it isnt worth much and it's in terrible condition but it has sentimental value. I would like to know if it's real before I do any work on it.

Need to authenticate this lighter

The Ping is just perfect and i am addicted now

Hi friends,

I’ve had this vintage S.T. Dupont lighter for a while now. I believe my great-uncle bought it in Paris, and when I got into cigars my mum gave it to me.

From what I’ve been able to gather, it seems to be a Ligne 1 small model from somewhere around the late 1960s to early 1970s, but I’d love to hear more from the experts here.

The iconic “ping” is still there a little bit, but definitely not in its full capacity. The hinge and lid alignment actually seem quite good to me, so I’m wondering whether a careful cleaning and some basic maintenance (preferably without fully disassembling it) could help bring some of that resonance back.

The flame performance also seems a bit weak. I suspect regular butane may have been used in it at some point in its life, which might have left some residue in the internals. Right now the flame starts relatively large and then quickly settles smaller after ignition.

Would love to hear your thoughts on dating it more precisely, and what could realistically be done to restore some of her former glory while keeping things as original as possible.

Does anyone know how to inflate this? This inflation port is different from regular ones - regular ones are pressed down to inflate, but with this one you need to pull the middle part up

I found this ST. Dupont lighter online and am unsure if it is legit. Any help would be appreciated!

me gustaría saber de qué año puede ser y por cuanto lo podría vender, que aunque no pienso venderlo jamás me da curiosidad. el hecho de que la caja exterior no cuadre con el modelo, entiendo que será un error de fábrica o algo así, aunque imagino que la caja que realmente importa será la interior, la que trae el mechero y el número, y supongo que esa sí cuadra con el mechero

Can’t find any info online, is it plated authentic karat gold ? 9k?

I got this very old st dupont ligne 1 that belonged to my great grandfather. I tried to replace the seals since it leaked but i did something wrong and now the valve is stuck inside the lighter. In trying to remove it I damaged it. Can i get it out if i take out the bottom valve? And does anyone have a valve for sale? Or knows where i can buy one?

I recently overhauled two BS models and found differences in some details. These differences were introduced in 1966 when the serial numbering system switched from 5 to 6 digits, or in 1967 when the second version was introduced (from horizontal to vertical lettering on the bottom). I'm not sure about this, what do you think? Note the different flame valves: the old one is at the top, the new one at the bottom. Then the gas shut-off lever: the first version is on the right, the new one on the left. The plate stopper: the first version is on the right, the later one on the left. The pin and spring of the lid opening system: the first (longer) version is on the right, the later one on the left.

Update. I got the valve out luckily but as you can see it's absolutely knackered. Do you guys think it will still work or should I get a new one? And if so, where can I find a new one?
