NOTES: Cans are sealed with food safe adhesive along the top rim. They can be resealed using your choice of adhesive. Biscuits can crack in transit. The period-correct packaging was not designed to keep them full intact and safe. Nearly every period can I’ve opened had at least one broken biscuit. Please see our other listings for more varieties of the B Units and M Unit sets!

IMPRESSION NOTES: These OD lacquered cans appeared in the second half of 1944, so would be ideal for late 1944 till the end of the war impressions.
