I have one, given to me by a buddy. o_O

I'm not even sure if it's "old"...

I think it's from the 1950s and could be worth $15.00 - $25.00 perhaps.
Like all things collectable, condition is everything and it depends a lot upon on how badly someone needs it for their collection. There isn't a lot of value in most of the run of the mill cans out there.

I just happened to be in a locked storage cabinet of mine I don't frequent and took the opportunity to take a couple of pics of this unopened can of 2400 I keep inside. It's right around the age of the 2400 can posted by todd51

Actually, because the can is in such new condition and it's seal isn't broken, I sealed it in heat shrink myself to protect it.

Around twelve years ago I invested in a heat shrink setup for all of my collectable ammo, primers and such. A lot of the big time collectors I was in contact with were using the method and I figured that was good enough of an endorsement for me. I've used it a great deal and feel it's earned it's keep.
