What is a 1953 Korean Cigarette Box Worth?

So my late father left me a Korean cigarette box holder made from wood, inlaid with mother of pearl that says Korea and Koje-Do with a farmer smoking a pipe.
I want to sell it. What is something like this worth? Condition is pretty good. Nothing missing. TIW

IME, handicrafts like this are not worth very much unless you find a collector of Korean War memorabilia. Koje-do was a POW camp which sounded pretty notorious according to Wikipedia.

Someone is trying to sell one on ebay, but there aren't any bids.
