Check the inside of the case for identifying marks. Jewelers will often mark their work on the inside of the case and it is tiny. Look in the corners or under the snap bar. If the case is silver there will be a number on it "94.6". This identifies the case as "pure" silver. The manufacturer's mark should be with this number.
Depends on the Brand and Condition. If it's Capodimonte and it is also a musical box then it can go from Hundreds to Thousands of dollars. If it's just a cigarette holder and that's all then it depends on what it's made of and how old it is. Hope you have something rare.

Most likely the case is made of brass. To test this theory, remove the lighter from the case and gently polish the inside of the case with a brass cleaner. Do not polish the outside of the case as it will damage the patina. The patina is the coating that the lighter case was finished with and is more valuable on the case than a clean lighter. If the lighter is silver looking, most likely it is steel. Steel lighters were introduced in the war years as a sturdy case for soldiers. Also test inside with a silver polish. Steel will not have a glow as silver does, nor will it clean off with a black residue. It is unlikely that it is silver, but it is possible. The test for steel applies, and the decoration on the outside of the case might have blackened. On the bottom of the case check for any identifying markings. This will give a clue as to the maker of the lighter.
