Rhodium coated pen

Hi all,
I've been around on the currency and sports forums for several years, and I just inheirited a bunch of stamps and coins. So I guess I'm hitting for the cycle as it were.
I have a silly newbie question about a 50s or 60s Ronson Pencilighter Rhodium coated pen. When I saw this at my friend's house I just about plotzed, as I knew what rhodium sold for per ounce and I started visualizing lighting cigars with $100 bills. Then, when I got back home I looked on ebay and found a bunch of them.
So I was just wondering what the weight/value of the presumably very thin rhodium coating would be for this pen. I don't have a photo right now but there's a bunch of them up on ebay. I realize that I'm not going to get rich off of it but it does present a interesting question. I'm guessing about $20 worth, but I'd be curious what more knowledgable folks would say.
TIA,
Mr Walnut
