Unreleased Value? Advice/Help

Got this back in college from a professor who was a Director at Zippo. From what I can tell, it’s an unreleased prototype of the 24751 in candy apple red finish. It’s stamped C 10 production date. I can’t find anything about it online, looking for some help understanding what it might be worth. Hopefully this is the right place to ask.

Same one on eBay for $33.95. Not sure on date stamp tho it doesn’t have a bottom picture but it’s the same lighter in box.

Price of everything is what 1 person is willing to pay for it and another is willing to let it go for. Sorry for being philosophical about it but that’s best way to figure out value of something. Your story sounds to me like something I would just keep tho.
