A proper British made piece is this c.1970 18k gold plated ‘bark’ finish Dunhill 70 butane lighter
After the evolution of petrol Rollalite to gas Rollagas, production moved from Great Britain to Switzerland. 1969 saw the advent of the ‘70’, a wider, more substantial model that, alongside the age old ‘Unique’, was produced in England
This example (one of the first iterations of the 70) features the very period ‘Bark’ finish (an effect pioneered by the likes of Roy King and Andrew Grima) and remains in very good condition with only minor signs of wear to the plating
Presented in its original box with instructions booklet. Perfect working order with a good range of flame height adjustment
