Rare 1997 Limited edition ST Dupont Small line 1 Picasso "Faune" Lighter. Only 6000 of these were produced. Chinese lacquer (please see below discription for details on the paiting)and yellow gold trim.

The refill valve cap looks off in color in the pictures, but I believe it to be the original one. This lighter (unlike most small line 1 lighters) requires the Gold refill, and it has this color paint dot inside the refill valve cap. Though the flint pusher has been replaced, its slightly off in color, but its hard to notice.

Visual condition is great to excellent, couple of minor "knocks" on bottom where it is marked ST Dupont. Free from any major scratches, or coin rash. Lacquer is complete, and free from any major damage.

** Lighter is functional, produces a flame around 3/4" in height, but thats the biggest flame I can achive. Please keep this in mind before purchasing. Sparks great, lights every time. Lid lifts and lowers very nicely, and does NOT leak gas.

Very hard to find lighter, same lighter new can be found on the internet for $4000.

Don't miss your chance to own limited edition ST Dupont.

Here is Some information I found online: At the beginning of the 1960's, Pablo Picasso chose three S.T. Dupont lighters to use in his art. In the Chinese lacquer surfaces, he engraved a Harlequin on one lighter and a Pierrot figure on another, as gifts for his son and daughter-in-law. Today, these lighters are part of the personal collection of Mrs Ruiz-Picasso. On the third lighter, which he gave to a friend, he engraved a faun, a recurring motif in Picasso's work which is often considered to be a form of self-portrait. S.T. Dupont is proud that its objects were chose by such a prestigious artists and, to commemorate the occasion, has created the limited edition "faun" lighter. The Picasso Limited Edition series are represented by: Jeroboam Table lighter (500pcs), Secret Carriage Clock (500 pcs), a pocket lighter (6000 pcs).
