This thing was an ugly duckling and ended up being a cull that didn’t fit into my display
I thought about selling but it was ugly and wouldn’t go for much
So I shook it. It had a glorious clunk to it. Glorious enough that I took a chance on the old girl and opened my first B unit
There was a little crystallization on the sugar but everything else was 100%
I ate a perfectly preserved biscuit and then an awesome orange hard candy. Felt shitty to waste it but used the rest for my display
There was a “nice hiss” even

Super cool!
Whole intact biscuits too, not just crumbs
. Looks like they've got grain husks in them, true whole wheat. Maybe those husky bits work like rebar to improve the stru tural integrity of the biscuit
There's something I really like aesthetically about these cans and their contents. Those bits look great in your display.

Very cool!
Love those old hard candies. You score if ya get butterscotch. Biscuits, if fresh? I prefer 'em over the newer crackers and whatnot. That coffee can vary in it's taste.. Barrington Hall was rough. Nescafe was much smoother.
