What is this ration?
I saw this ration on eBay, and I was wondering - does anyone know what it is? It just says matches and sweets. The seller says that it is cold war era. Does anyone have any info? Thank you!

its a part of the 4 man or more ration cases that was issued in the 1970 to late 1980s.
so its a cold war ration for shure cheers kenRe: What is this ration?
Norge is correct. I actually tried one of these in the mid-90's. I had a full ration - I found that the cans had leaked "tin" or "silvery in color" into the items in the cans. It was really bad for things like the "boned chicken" IIRC. So don't expect to be able to eat this thing just FYI.

Yeh, not gonna risk this one. Does anyone have any pictures of the inside? I'm wondering what the 'sweets' are.

OK, it just arrived. I took some pictures. Something is shaking inside, but I don't want to open it.
Anyone know what year it is?
