Vintage cigarette boxes and paraphernalia is very collectible. If it is military issue that makes it collectible by more than one type of collector and adds to the value. Value can easily be several hundred dollars if you have a good piece. It would really be worth your time to take it to a dealer for an insurance appraisal. Just a word of caution, if your not sure of the dealers reputation, don't offer to sell it to them. Unfortunately there are dealers out there that will offer less than the item is worth to turn a buck. If you are looking to sell get a second opinion.
