Hi, i had one of these lighters many years ago, it is only worth the price a collector is willing to pay, the right place at the right time could bring you £40 or so
They were made in the thousands and brought home by the soldiers at the end of WW2 , iv lost mine now but it was a novelty on the table, and even more so if you had one that was a camera

production: 1945 ~ 1950
custom made by US company
"MADE IN Occupied Japan" sign on the bottom shows the original version. (go for around JPY40,000- [£166.67-] at an auction)
After 1950, a lot of replicas have been made.
