Antique Toy

I have found an antique toy, and am wondering about it’s worth.?

It’s a puzzle that comes in a cardboard “can” of Folgers Coffee, it is a puzzle of the coffee can label. It has a string to pull around the top of the can, and it has never been opened. Probably as some kind of advertising thing, maybe? I think it’s probably from the 1950′s, could be earlier. Anybody know anybody out there who knows about antique toys?

It is worth about $5-$10 – here’s a sample of a completed auction on Ebay:
