Benson's English Choice Confections tin

My mother has an old candy tin that she was trying to see about how much it would be worth.
I do not have pics today but will have them by tomorrow.

On the frontside of the tin it says Benson's English Choice Confections and states the ingredients.
On the top lid is a picture of a war ship S.S. United States, 51.500 tons.
On the back it says, "Benson's manufactured by Benson's Confectionery LTD. Bury Lancashire, England
It is a yellowish tin, really old looking, has a few dents in lid, open and closes fine.
I will have pics on here tomorrow.
