Help with identifying (and possibly dating) a ration tin

[Wolfy]

Hello, I recently joined this forum.

I've been a regular viewer to several MRE YouTubers for more than a year now. I find military rations incredibly fascinating and enjoy watching them being opened and sometimes taste-tested.

I often check eBay to see whether anybody is selling some, and a few weeks ago I managed to buy a tin of what the seller described as "Vintage Army Tin of Corn - SEALED and Unopened".

The lot code appears to be on the bottom of the tin along with a black stamp of simply "CORN" on the top. I enclose some photos as I am really keen on knowing the country of origin as well as the age.

Thank you for your time.

US date not shure but looks like 50-60s can

[Wolfy]

Thank you, that's helped narrow things down.

Could it be from an early group ration? Doesn't look like an MCI can.

The stamped name on the can is throwing me off... Not sure if I have seen a US ration stamped like that.

US can, from a group ration as cap174 wrote.

seen a picture somewhere on web or in one of my books,need to look if interested ?

[Wolfy]

Wow, thank you all for your replies. At least I know it's a US can, that's really cool. Yes please Norge, that would be very much appreciated.

I will try and get a pencil rubbing of that lot number, wish it was easier to read.
