Hi Bevand,
That is a nice rare tin. Very little info on the company Perry & Co, London. However, found a picture of the cigarette packet which gives an idea as to what the tin would have looked like. The clue to date for the brand name is the 5 for 1d. Most manufacturers and retailers were involved in producing 5 for 1d packs which "Tobacco" reference book, claim were introduced as early as 1884 and maintained by many firms until start of World War 1 when tobacco tax was increased. I would agree with you for date of tin.
