This is a collection of my late husbands lighters. He had them over 30 years. I do not know much about them or there value and I can not get them to light. There are 3 dunn & Hill...2 from switzerland and 1 from England. There are 2 Dunn&Hill manuals one written in several languages...2 Tiffany...3 Colibri and 1 framecrest. There is also 2 ash trays that were mine and I do not know how old. If you have any information on these please post it here.
Thank You,
Lynda

Lynda, if you are interested in selling, these do exceptionally well on ebay. They are all quality lighters, there may be a couple of 14K lighters in your lot, check carefully. You have Dunhill lighters, not Dunn&Hill.

You have a wonderful collection! You probably can't get them to light because they might need fuel and a new flint, a very inexpensive fix. As far as the worth of these.... the Dunhill lighters can fetch $100+ and if you do have any 14K or 18K gold Dunhill's they can easily fetch $1,000+. Do your homework before you sell! Watch what they are going for on eBay. You can do this with the other name brand lighters you have too. If you do a search on eBay for Dunhill lighter you can see what some have already sold for by checking the box next to "completed listings" on the left side of the page. The Tiffany lighters sell very well... as all Tiffany items do. The Colibri and Flame Crest are not as expensive I don't think. I have some Dunhill lighters too. Your husbands collection is awesome, he had very good taste. Good luck!
Hello,
Thank you so much for your information on the lighters.
