About the Item

Alfred Dunhill's Rollagas lighter is an emblem of meticulous craftsmanship and enduring style, standing as a testament to the brand’s commitment to luxury and functionality since its inception. Established amidst a backdrop of innovation in 1953, the Rollagas lighter captivated users with its reliable design and artistic flair. Dunhill's pioneering use of butane over traditional naphtha solidified its place in the annals of lighter manufacturing. As vintage Dunhill pieces become increasingly appreciated, the Rollagas is a valuable addition to any discerning collection. Owning this lighter is not merely about possessing a utilitarian object—it is about being part of a legacy that blends heritage with cutting-edge utility. The Dunhill Rollagas model, introduced with lacquered finishes in the early 1970s, exemplifies an elegance fused with contemporary tastes of its time. The lacquer, available in an array of distinguished colors such as maroon and imitation lapis lazuli, rapidly became a highlight for collectors. Its introduction echoed Dunhill’s ability to adapt luxury materials into everyday items without compromising function or style. Its refined mechanism, marked by smooth operation and reliability, set a new standard for butane lighters. The lighter's sensory appeal is encapsulated by its sleek lacquered exterior and the comforting heft that signifies robust build, details that are further accentuated when closely observed through images. Accompanied by original box and papers from the 1970s, this Dunhill Rollagas is in great condition, minimally marked by time. Importantly, it is presented almost as it was when new, exciting both collectors and those enamored by mid-century modern charm. This piece transcends its practical use, serving as a portal to the past in excellent tangible form, articulated by its well-monitored care over the decades. • Brand: Dunhill • Model: Rollagas • Material: Lacquered • Accessories: Original Box & Papers • Year: 1970s • Condition: Great
