ST Dupont Laque de Chine lighter

ST Dupont Laque de Chine lighter

Used, minor scratches on the gold trim, bottom is somewhat worn but readable. Doesn’t have gas, but sparks when stricken. Was given to me many years ago by a friend. This would be a nice restoration project as these lighters are top notch in the world. Not sure what year this lighter is but it is vintage old. It does have a serial number at the bottom, hopefully you can see it in one of the pictures. It does make that famous ping sound when you use your thumb to open. Maybe someone out there knows how or where to take it to get it serviced and restored to its old glory. If you don’t know about these lighters, please scroll on, as I myself don’t know much either, and I won’t be able to answer questions in detail. All I know is this lighter can be worth more than the listed price to someone who knows more about them. Lighter is authentic, nice gold edging, made in France. The bottom is missing a small tiny piece of a turning handle as seen in the pictures. This lighter is sold as is.
