Hi. Found this camera in an old house in Texas. The inscriptions say "Okinawa 1948-49" on the back cover and "[staff sergeant] James H Kays" on the top. I know nothing about cameras but I can tell this has some value. can anyone help me out here?

maybe you should do a google check on the owner. Who knows his son is now a billionaire and would be willing to buy it for a thousand dollars for sentimental reasons.
