Lot #1: Luxury Alfred Dunhill Cigarette Lighter

Luxury Alfred Dunhill Cigarette Lighter This is a luxury Alfred Dunhill Cigarette Lighter along with its original vintage presentation case for a luxury Alfred Dunhill cigarette lighter, complete with its historical guarantee documents and paperwork tucked into the upper fabric pouch. Key Details & Features Brand Branding: The inner white satin lining is prominently printed with the classic elongated Dunhill typography. Interior Lining: The top half contains a specialized pouch for documentation, while the bottom base features a custom-molded, dark brown velvet/velour insert tailored to cradle a standard vertical Rollagas pocket lighter. Royal Warrant Document: The paper insert displays the official British Royal Coat of Arms at the top, referencing Dunhill's historical appointment to the British royal household. Purpose and Value Impact This box belongs to the iconic Dunhill Rollagas series, which was originally introduced in 1956. In the vintage market, possessing the original "box and papers" (full set) significantly elevates the overall provenance, authenticity, and market value for collectors compared to standalone lighters. This lighter was made in Switzerland. Dunhill partnered with premier Swiss manufacturers to create the ultra-precise inner gas mechanics for their iconic Rollagas models. The large circular brass cap in the center serves as the main butane fuel intake valve. The smaller keyhole-shaped screw tucked into the corner regulates the flame height adjustments. The letter “B” is stamped under the word Dunhill under the lid. During the 1970s, Dunhill stamped a single control letter (such as A, B, V, or W) inside the lid or directly onto the internal burner chassis platform. The classic vertical striped pattern in gold plating is a highly desirable, timeless design for daily use and luxury collection. For safety and insurance purpose, the lighter is emptied. 1. The Correct Gas Refill: Dunhill Red Gas Color Code: Red (Dunhill Premium Butane Gas Refill). The Nozzle Tip: The modern Dunhill Red can features a specialized long, narrow plastic nozzle built directly onto the can. Why it matters: This exact tip shape fits perfectly into your lighter's large central brass intake valve without requiring any loose plastic adapters. Warning: Never use standard generic grocery store butane (like Ronson or Clipper). Generic brands contain high levels of impurities and oils that instantly clog the ultra-fine vintage burner mesh. 2. The Correct Flint Size: Dunhill Red Flints Color Code: Red Pack (Dunhill Rollagas Flints). The Fit: These flints have a specific 9mm length and narrow diameter designed to slide smoothly up the internal flint tube. Why it matters: Dunhill flints are engineered to be softer than standard flints. Warning: Avoid generic flints (like Zippo or Ronson). Generic flints are physically harder and wider. They will jam inside your Rollagas tube or quickly grind down the teeth of your vintage spark roller wheel. Quick Refueling Steps Turn the flame adjustment screw fully down to the minus (–) position. Hold the lighter completely upside down. Press the Dunhill Red gas can tip straight down into the center brass valve for 4 to 5 seconds. Wait 2 minutes for the freezing liquid butane to warm up to room temperature before lighting.
