Dupont Gatsby lighter, crafted in 1991, is a rare and highly collectible example featuring the distinctive tortoise shell lacquer hand finish paired with a rich heavy gold construction. Representing one of Dupont’s most refined decorative executions from its golden production era, this model highlights the Maison’s mastery in combining lacquer artistry with precision metalwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"107\" data-end=\"506\"\u003eEach lighter is different, as the lacquer is hand-applied; at the time, none were exactly the same as another one !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"508\" data-end=\"851\"\u003ePreserved in true excellent condition, the lighter retains its original 1991 tax sticker, confirming it has never been used. With flawless presentation and complete original packaging, it stands as a museum-grade example of vintage S.T. Dupont craftsmanship—now increasingly difficult to source in such untouched state. Without removing the tax sticker, servicing is not possible; it can be removed upon request after purchase for proper cleaning and repair, or kept intact as is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"853\" data-end=\"1016\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONDITION GRADING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"870\" data-end=\"873\"\u003eNear Mint Condition.
