I have an antique milk can that says 'Borden's N.Y. 1956" imprinted on the lid.?

The inside of the can is tin. The exterior is painted a light sage green and has a Scandinavian design hand-painted on the perimeter of the lid and around the top 'band' of the can. How can I learn what, if anything, this can is worth? I think vintage milk cans, with some exceptions, are not worth much but thought it would be fun to find out if this is worth anything. It's in excellent condition.

    years ago those were worth very much, in the thousands. you just have to have the right one. similar were in the hundreds and below. 1956 is more of when the company started as the cans were reused and date was the inconsequential. borden may have been just a small farm with no relation to borden.. but they have history, and a rep from the company may help you best or better than some one who would take advantage.
