Very, very nice norge, affectionate presentation :D !

I "detected" some nice old CHOCOLATE FUDGE bars in your jig, you know, they are very tasty :D !

Sometimes when I will get more space in my basement (now it is to tight), I would like to display my collection the same way as you do 8) !

So long mreheater72

lovely presentation Ken.

Is that a Hersheys tropical chocolate bar in the small items pic?
That wrapper looks like its hardly changed from the 1940s. There is an idenctical wrapper pictured in the classic U.S Army Handbook 1939 - 1945 by George Forty.

Outstanding pics norge! Those MCI cans bring back memories from my first 6 months in the Massachusetts Army National Guard in the mid-80s; I'm not sure I'd want to eat them now though :oops: The way that you have them displayed they look like they just came off the production line.

Norge,

I'm very curious as to what happened to that Dark Brown MRE with the white paper labels glued on the front of the bag. I could have sworn I sent you one for your collection. It's pretty rare.
