On the bench, mid-way through a refresh. This is after cleaning & polishing, & it's going to get new seals & a lid-stop pad.

My oh my. What a beauty. Wonder what it’d look like with the pipe flame adapter, and also at my house lighting pipes.

Is there any way to date these lighters? Nice work! I like this thread.

Is there any way to date these lighters? Nice work! I like this thread.

Thank you, I'm currently doing some work right now on the eight pictured directly above. Going through them all & starting to tear them down, looking for any major problems that I would want to know about asap. Couple of them didn't want to let me pull their valve bodies, so I had to extract them. Luckily I have some spares.

The Line1s with the barrel-style flame adjuster revision began sometime around 1970, & went until not too long ago, maybe around 2015. Mine could be from anywhere within that timeframe, but are mostly from the '70s - if I had to guess. The original version of the Line1 began at some point during the '60s, I believe. Prior to that, there were other models. If you search around, I've seen a couple blogs or pages where the different models of the different eras have been better outlined.

Beautiful! Glad you're keeping such iconic lighters in circulation.

@boatme99 Thanks, I enjoy the process. (Replying to you here instead of my sales thread, usually the mods don't want extra chit-chat in the sales threads.) Here are some that I'm refreshing now.

In the following picture you will see starting from the far left a DuPont Table lighter, next is a Ligne 2 with duel cigar flames. The next is a Dupont with the lignes, can't remember if it is a 1 or 2, Next is a Diamond Cut and then a Green Lacquer. Next is a Davidoff with pipe lighter, made by Dupont. Bought it in Paris. Lsst on the right is my first Old Boy with the briar finish.


Next are my IM Corona Pipemaster pipe lighters that all have tampers in the bottom of the lighter.
I bought 4 of these pipes as the retail was 185 and I bought them all for 113.00 each. All from PC. I figured one for each kid when I am gone.

Next are the other Pipemasters I have in stock.

I have two of the following. I lost one in the house for a while as soon as I misplaced my first one I wanted another.


Next is a Black one that was under a hundred so I will use it as my beater Pipemaster.


Here is a silver one with some kind of shaping on the outside.
