Anyway... These were given to me by my Uncle and were from his time either in the Coast Guard or the Army National Guard. He gave them to me probably in the mid-80s. I remember him opening a few cans and sharing a few of his "favorites" around then. Both of these are in poor condition and are missing parts. Neither have their accessory packets and only 1 even has its "B-2 Unit".
Beef Slices and Potatoes w/Gravy
There is a spoon, 2 peanut butters, Orange Nut Roll, and the Beef Slices main
You can see the cans all have at least a little rust and the main can is VERY rusty and holed. It is also very light, clearly missing most of the contents.
It is hard to see in the picture, but the main can appears to have a code on top of "8266" on top. 1978 then?
Spaghetti w/Beef Chunks in Sauce
This one has a spoon, Peach Jam, B-2 Unit, Cinnamon Nut Roll and the Spaghetti main
This time I chose to leave the bottom cans in the box for the pictures. After handling the first one, I didn't want to do it again. This main is actually in better shape, though still holed. You can actually see the code here of "5107" on the main and "2288" on the Nut Roll. I would think the main could be 1975, but the Nut Roll 1972? Seems unlikely they would be that far apart. IF they even started out together.
Anyway...clearly there will be NO TASTING. But any comments or info on these is welcomed.
