1 - Original Early WW2 K Ration Dinner Unit - 100% complete and intact. Smokes are still sealed. Some minor damage to left side of outer carton but otherwise excellent condition. The entree can has been cleaned out and stabilized for display. 

2 - 100% Complete 1955 dated RCI or Ration, Combat, Individual. These rare full day self-contained rations are a bugger to find complete. This example has all seven cans cans, both accessory packets, all three spoons. A couple of the accessory packet items have leaked, the smokes are empty but the tax stamp is intact, and there is expected staining and wear to the carton. The cans have all been cleaned and stabilized and make a great display of this otherwise rare ration.

3 - Korean War 1952 dated Ration, Individual, Combat or RIC. The main combat ration issued during the Korean War, in it's cubical carton variant. Includes the three sealed B Units and accessory packet. The smokes are empty but the tax stamp is intact. The three M Units and fruit can have been opened from the bottom and carefully cleaned and text restored. These units are incredibly rare today, more so than any WW2 era rations.

4 - 1965 dated MCI or Meal, Combat, Individual. Chopped Ham and Eggs. This earlier pattern MCI included the larger B-3 unit type without fruit. Along with the bread and entree can. Accessory packet is still sealed and of course contains the four packet of smokes. Sealed spoon also included. This example has survived nicely without any rust or leaking from the cans inside. 

5 - Jan 1945 dated Late War Morale K Ration Dinner Unit. Still sealed. Good condition. Lightest paper loss on one of the edge flaps. Inner box inside and intact. These are getting harder and harder to find sealed.
