[SOLD] Unsealed Case of 1991(?) Brown Bag MRE's

Post by Scott-GA » Tue Jun 15, 2021 8:07 pm

At a recent Estate Sale in McDonough, GA I came across some Freeze Dried Food Insurance and this Case of MRE's. These items were in a temperature controlled, dry basement. I don't know how long these items had been stored there but the owner had lived in this house for a long time.

Although I can't say with absolute certainty, I do believe I can make a reasonably strong argument that these MRE's were packaged in 1991.

The case was unsealed and the owner had taped some written information onto one end of the case. I removed this information to see if I could find any additional "Official" information that would help date the case more accurately.

The information on the case indicates that the original contents were packed on the 312 day of 1991 (8 Nov 1991).

While it seems reasonable to assume that the MRE's that are in the case have always been associated with this case, I tried to see if any more information could be found to support (or disprove) that.

The MRE's inside the case seemed to be in excellent condition.

Here's what I was looking for... Menu 9 - Meatballs, Beef And Rice, in Tomato Sauce.

The Brown Bag with Numbers was used from 1988 to 1995. The Menu 9 - Meatballs, Beef and Rice, in Tomato Sauce was a menu item from 1988 to 1992.

Between the menu information and the date information on the case, I believe the MRE's in this case are from 1991.

Sadly, as I was pulling MRE's from the case to locate Menu 9, I tore the package of Menu 2 - Corned Beef Hash (White Arrow).

$60 + shipping for this case of all 12 individual menus 1991 MRE's.

I believe I can ship this case via UPS Ground for $26 to anywhere in the lower 48 states. If I can find a cheaper way to ship I will discuss this with the purchaser.

I am reluctant to ship outside of the United States.

If interested in purchasing this case of 12 MRE's, please send me a Private Message.
