Dupont \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vintage-st-dupont-ligne-2-lighters\"\u003eLigne 2\u003c\/a\u003e in the full-size Grand Modèle, gold-plated with vertical striping, and complete with its original box and papers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ligne 2 was introduced in 1977 and is the lighter S.T. Dupont is known for — wider, longer and slimmer than what came before, with the gas adjustment moved to the base. Its restraint was deliberate: after 1968, visible wealth had gone out of fashion in France, and the maison answered with a case that says very little.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVertical striping runs the length of that case, so the light travels down the lines rather than across them. It is the pattern that suits the Grand Modèle best, because it gives the eye something to follow along the longer dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCondition is good, with the striping clear on both faces and the gold plate marked only by ordinary handling. The cling is good — the note is present and clean. It is photographed lit: it lights and holds a flame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes with its original box and its papers, which is the part worth paying attention to. Most vintage Ligne 2s have lost both, and a complete set is a materially different proposition from a loose lighter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vertical-stripe-st-dupont-lighters\"\u003eVertical Stripe S.T.
