Boat table lighter made in Occupied Japan

[Caleb Bogart]

I got this table lighter for free while helping a guy clean out his shed...Found it in the dumpster. Thought, as my first post, I would show it off.

That is a very cool lighter. Have you tried to find a value for it? Occupied Japan indicates it was made between 1945 and 1951 under the MacArthur administration. I hear there are collectors of Occupied Japan goods but don't know any details.

I have seen a few other ones for the exact same type, and they go for around $40.00
