These types of lighters were common in the 60's and 70's. They had fish hooks/flies and other odds and ends in them. I had several myself. It could easily have been gotten in Nam but were very common here.

I too had a couple of them. One was red, the other black if I remember. Both had a fish lure in them. Also were made with small plastic or ??? little squares in them with company names on them for advertising. Bough both of mine in liquor stores.
