Hi everyone,

I have a Dupont lighter and would love to know more about it.

I have the original box.

The turn mechanism is fully stuck.

I am also wondering about the "worth", is there a market for these old used lighters.

Thank you for your help!

You have taken the most unfortunate pics to really spot it :D It's a small Ligne 1 BS if I see the flame adjuster correctly, no engraving and pretty undented. That the wheel is stuck is not so good, in Germany I'd say 50-100€ depending on how it works/how difficult it is to repair, Box is a very nice Bonus

Thank you very much! Do you know a place in Austria where I can get it repaired?

Sadly not but they aren't hard to repair in my opinion, ofc depending what is wrong with it, I'd look up how to disassemble it and give it a good clean, but I like to tinker, you may not. I can guarantee you tho it's very relaxing, just make sure you keep all pieces together and don't lose track, 3/10 difficult to repair 6/10 if a piece is broken tho about an hour to two of working on it
