However, even though crucial parts may have been serviced/replaced, an older lighter may still leak gas over time, or miss a spark. These lighters have aged over decades, resulting in some internal wear that may have accumulated and will affect their performance, and there is nothing to be done about it. Just know that you are buying a vintage product, and it can happen that they may not perform as expected of a new lighter.

A Dunhill Rollagas from 1979, finished in the bark texture that gives the gold plating its rough, hand-hammered surface rather than a smooth one. The effect is all in the light: where a polished lighter throws a single reflection, this one scatters it across hundreds of small facets, so it reads as warm and matte from a distance and only shows its gold properly up close. The finish runs the full body of the lighter, cap and base together, uninterrupted by any smooth panel.
The roller is the reason this model has lasted as a design rather than a curiosity. Instead of a conventional flint wheel struck with the thumb, the Rollagas uses a rolling wheel set into the side of the case, and the action is smooth enough that the lighter opens and lights in one quiet movement. It runs on butane rather than petrol, with a gas control valve for setting the flame, and the whole mechanism was built around getting rid of the smell and mess that came with older fuels. It is a lighter made to live in a pocket and be used without ceremony, which is exactly what has kept it in production in one form or another for decades.
This one is in good condition, which here means wear that shows this lighter was carried and used rather than kept on a shelf. On a textured finish like bark that wear sits differently than it would on a smooth lacquer, and it is worth looking at the photographs to see how it presents on this particular piece. It comes without its original box or papers. It has been serviced in our workshop and is ready to be filled and carried again.
