Hey guys.
We visited northern France last week, in the Departement Nord-pas-de-Calais. There were lots of old german bunkers at the beach and in the cliffs. Besides one of the bunkers I found an old plastic cap from some jam. Could this be of a british WWII ration?
It is made of white PE Poly-Ethylen. It says: ROBERTSONS BLACKCURRANT JAM, 1 oz NET, JAMES ROBERTSON & SONS P.M.LTD, PAISLEY - MANCHESTER - BRISTOL - LONDON
Looks really old, but maybe its nothing or from the 50s or 60s. I couldnt found any Google pictures so far, showing the original item. Maybe anyone of you has seen one of these before, maybe in a museum?
Please post all Info. Thanks
