In 1989, ST Dupont created a rather unusual for the time and radically
different concept - Limited Edition lighters series. The series
consisted of four Chinese Lacquered Line 2 lighters with Limited production
numbers of only 1000 pieces for each style. The styles were "Vive la
Liberte"(beige with rose gold trim and a man with a flag), "Liberte"(pale
green with cannon and flag), "King Louis XVI"(blue with a sword, crown
and red hat at the end of the sword) and "La Republique
Francaise"(orange). All four lighters were colorfully decorated and accented in rose
gold or yellow gold trims. They all had some symbols of the French
Revolutions of the 18th Century 1789 - 1790. The word "Museee" is imprinted
on the bottom of each lighter along with its unique serial number.
Today these rare lighters represent the very beginning of the collectable
ST Dupont lighters that later followed by the world - renowned
masterpieces such as Maharadjah, Nuevo Mundo, Taj Mahal, Pharaoh, Versailles,
and many others.
