Dupont Ligne 2 Petit Modèle — Gold Prince of Wales, Reference 15240\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA vintage S.T. Dupont Ligne 2 in the smaller Petit Modèle size, finished in gold with the Prince of Wales check and carrying \u003cstrong\u003ereference 15240\u003c\/strong\u003e, presented in its original S.T. Dupont box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eS.T. Dupont produced its first luxury lighter in 1941, and the Ligne 2 that followed in 1977 became the model the maison is known for. Prince de Galles — Prince of Wales — is borrowed straight from British tailoring, and it is the most technically interesting of the engine-turned patterns Dupont applied to the line. The check is not printed or etched: the surface is divided into a grid of small squares, and the fine parallel lines inside each square are cut at alternating angles to its neighbours. That alternation is what produces the woven appearance, and it is why the pattern seems to shift between cloth and metal depending on how the light falls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReference 15240 identifies this configuration exactly — the Petit Modèle in gold with the Prince of Wales pattern. The same lighter in silver is 15140, which is a useful thing to know when a seller describes a lighter only by its finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the Petit Modèle the effect tightens. The same check compressed into the narrower case reads denser and finer than it does on a full-size body, which gives this size a formality the larger model does not quite have — the difference between a sports jacket and a suit cut from the same cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lighter is in excellent condition, with the check sharp across both faces and the gold showing no wear through. It is offered with its original black box, lined in tan and marked \u003cem\u003eS.T. Dupont, Orfèvres à Paris\u003c\/em\u003e. Serviced and in perfect working order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"S.T.
