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 - 1944-1945 WW2 Bloomfield P38 Can Opener - Yes, the correct WW2 type, with the 3 lines of instructions on the packet and the body of the can opener itself having the full ridge from edge to edge. I have several of these, all in the same condition, with minimal envelope wear. All marked the same. As these were only issued x1 per case at the very end of WW2, these are always much harder to find than post-WW2 examples, and are getting exceedingly rare to find.

4 - 1971 dated MCI or Meal, Combat, Individual. Beans with Meat Balls in Tomato Sauce. This MCI includes the larger B-2 unit type without fruit. Accessory packet is still sealed and of course contains the four packet of cigarettes. This example has survived nicely with the slightest leaking from the entree can. 9/10 condition.

5 - Rare 1959 EARLY pattern MCI with the elongated style box and flap for beverage accessories and clear spoon. Turkey Loaf. If you know your rations than you know how rare these earlier style MCIs are. This one is nice. The fruit can Pineapple tidbits is super unique. Entree can and fruit can have rusted out and some box staining but look how nice it displays.

6 - WW2 Life Raft Ration tin with original display contents - one pack of charms candies, gum, and instruction sheet. The tin has been carefully opened for the reverse side for display.

7 - Set of WW2 K Ration beverage sachets. Soluble coffee, lemon juice powder, and bouillon powder as they’d be packaged in each of the three K Ration units.

8 - 1955 Dated Food Packet, Individual, Assault - Ham and Eggs. Great condition. Cans are clean and empty. Carton is extra nice. Accessory packet contents are in good shape too. These FPIA's are getting very difficult to find.
