That is a really good find. Lots of rare stuff in pretty good shape.

Oh man! I knew I should have checked the site yesterday
Ration, Small Detachment 5 Persons! I've only ever seen that in the Operations Manuals. There are a few larger cans - old B Ration cans? I wish we could see what's under the Towels packet (interesting by itself - surgical?) or what's under the Menu No 2 label (again, interesting!). Someone struck gold there - I hope it was someone that hangs out here willing to share better pics when they get the items

I can't BELIEVE i missed that one. I have been known to get into irrational bidding wars.

Very interesting to see all that old stuff actually survive, someone must have had it stored in their emergency shelter.
On a side note, via Google, I just found a menu for the small detachment rations and they list under Supper, - Crackers With Army Spread. I don't think I want to know what Army Spread is though.....

"Army Spread" ?!?! That's just ration collection gold right there. Who knows what it is? I can't say I've ever seen that phrase written down before, will have to check some of the older Natick booklets.
