S.T. Dupont Lighter

Hi! I'm having trouble finding anything at all regarding this ST Dupont lighter, and thinking it may be rare???

Markings on top - under lift arm:
65 (appears that each numeral is individually hand stamped)

Markings on bottom:
FAB EN FRANCE
S.T.D. 74-14
(Circle or "O" with wings mark)
("BL" mark)

Made of unknown non magnetic metal.

Thank you!!!!

Nick

 

Is it marked Dupont?

No.

After looking online it appears that one of the stamps is a winged wheel....not an "O" with wings as I originally stated.

 

Good chance it is sterling.
I just sold a lift arm lighter from Mexico. It was sterling.



I can't make out the marks, you might want to have a look here.

you have good pics but I can't see the circle with wings...or STD....
And I can not find another......
I could only find one other french lighter with a double wheel , and it wasn't identical....
sorry....
I can not say it's a S.T.Dupont.

 

Ok....so I did find a "match" in link below.....spot on written description, but no further info and no mention of marks.

Not that I know but it does look like it may have been made by a French jeweler, why not try looking up French hallmarks? Almost every hi end company made this sort of lighter from Cartier to Dunhill.

 

That must be an old listing....but while ( Marked : Fab. En France S.T.D. 74-14 (in 1940 DUPONT joins in Paris and obtains the number 75-215) corresponds to your lighter..... that doesn't authenticate it as a S.T.Dupont !

& 74-14.......is not 75-215....!

I wonder if 74-14 could be attributed to another maker....but I don't know how to find that out ...

 

Oh....btw....it's a lovely lighter !!!!

 

Thanks for your help everybody! I heard back from an expert this morning please see his remarks below:

This is a very rare SIMON TISSOT DUPONT made in the 1930´s years
74 is the french département of manufacturer, 74= Haute-Savoie. This lighter was made in Faverges. ( https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faverges )
The BL stamp is for « briquet de Luxe » (luxury lighter)
The stamp with tire and wings is the stamp of ST DUPONT.
That’s a very hard to find lighter for collector’s! I believe this to be the first ST Dupont model produced. See pic.

 

Good 4 U Nicholas !!!!!
Great find !
& thanks for upping my knowledge of my favorite lighters !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Please excuse my ignorance but is it silver?

 

No judgement here my friend! I had the same question. It is brass & silver plated.
