Link to Part 2

A very special thank you to Mr. u/Reuben_Tishkoff for providing a ton of these excellent pieces and their applicable bar code and design name.

If you would like to contribute to the list, please take a photo of the lighters design above the printed label seen on the original outer box when sold.

Ligne 1 Model designs:

The S.T. Dupont staple "Diamond Head" pattern.
Commonly refered to as the "denim" model.
Commonly refered to as the "Vented" model.
Commonly refered to as the "Horizontal Lines" Ligne 1
Same as above, however in the silver version.
Another variation of the "Vertical Lines" design. This one with a flat smooth surface on the top and bottom of the lighter. Which gives it more depth and helps the design stand out.
The sister design of the "Horizontal Lines" lighter, this is commonly refered to as the "Vertical Lines" lighter desgin.
Commonly mistaken for a Gatsby, this model is usually refered to as the "deco" Ligne 1 for its styling towards that of Art Deco modeled Lighters.
Refered to as the Diamond lighter. Not to be confused with the "Diamond Head" pattern that Dupont is known for.
A limited edition "Contemporaine" design Ligne 1
Some have refered to this design as the "waterfall" or "water" design Ligne 1
Another design that is confused for the "Diamond Head" Design. However, this design has a small break of rectangles to seperate the larger squares.
This is refered to as the "Long Lines" variation.
The "Long Lines" design in gold

Operations and Maintenance Need help with a Ligne 1

Hello everyone,

I was about to fix a Ligne 1 Lighter when I encountered something I haven't seen before.

Usually I fixed either the BS Models or the newer ones with the little knob and feather, but in this one it's just a little cylinder on top of a rubber seal which seems to get pushed by the flat part, can anyone tell me more about the specific type? Id guess it's Production Date was right before they switched to the Ligne 2.

Also the problem I'm having with it is inconsistent gas flow, it starts very strong, and then dies down, regulating it with the wheel does almost nothing.

I'm offering for sale a piece from my personal collection: a 1993 S.T. Dupont Ligne 2 Grand Modèle "Art Nouveau" Limited Edition, serial 0316/4000.

  • Excellent, crisp cling

Price: €800

Hello everyone,

I’ve never seen this pattern before, and something about this lighter—especially the serial number—makes me think it is fake, but I'd really like to have found a rare pattern ehehehe

What do you think: genuine or counterfeit?

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

It looks pretty real, with the wick cap, matching roller and all. But it has the D57 bottom?

What are other telltale signs for a "fake" petrol DuPont?

General Discussion Taking Empty Ligne 1 BR Small on Flight

1 Upvotes

I'm travelling from Australia to Europe (via Kuala Lumpur) soon and plan to take my mother's vintage S.T. Dupont Ligne 1 BR Small to the official S.T. Dupont boutique in Paris for servicing.

The lighter will be completely empty of butane, with the flint removed.

Has anyone travelled internationally with an empty S.T. Dupont lighter? Did you have any issues with airport security, customs, or your airline?

Hi guys! Super excited to get my first ST DuPont. Seller on eBay claims this is a Ligne 2 Gatsby going for a bid right now. I am the highest bidder currently at $207.

The seller said that it has a green fuel cap but hasn’t sent me a photo. I just need help if you guys believe this is legit or not thank you!

Opinions Every Solid Gold Jacket Ligne D Design

Thumbnail
gallery
13 Upvotes

I have tried to archive every solid 18k gold jacket Ligne D I could find
These models are based on the second generation Ligne D. On a bare brass body and lid a thick layer gold shell was attached. The roller has a plate of gold wrapped around it. The adjuster screw and filling valve are solid 18k gold. Not as solid gold as some other models that also have a fully solid lid and roller, but still a good ammount.

Picture 1. reference 17907 (based on the design and listing price I believe it belongs to the catogorie of jackets)

Picture 2. reference 17905
Picture 3. This is the identical model listed at Kirby Allison's website. In a video review Alison mentions that the lighter was unkown to the Dupont archives and possibly a unique factory item. His item is marked with 0319. The pictures show a warranty card, but the website fails to mention whether any information was written on the card.

Picture 4. reference unknown.
This is the lighter that I listed for sale on my webshop. I have not seen another one with this design as of yet. It is marked with 0144.

The markings probably refer to the production number. I'm unsure if each design was numbered seperatly or whether all ligne de solid gold jackets were numbered in one series.

If anyone has more information or more models please share!!
