S.T. Dupont — “Almost Incidental” — Vintage Print Ad, c. 1970s

“That it lights cigarettes is almost incidental.”

A gold Dupont lighter on a field of red, sold as jewelry rather than a tool. The most Parisian way possible to say “expensive.”

Dog Ear Note: Dupont’s first lighter (1941) was aluminum, because brass was reserved for the war effort.
