1970s british 24 hour rations for sale/trade

Post by Jorwei » Mon Jan 14, 2019 11:44 am

Hey friends

Dug through a bit more and i realized i also have arctic rations. In fact there was more intact boxes of Arctic than G.S.
I have 12 unopened boxes, which i picked out as the "finest" ones. Also have quite alot of single items in good shape.
I dont know anything about how they were stored, but it looks like some moisture got in. There were a couple of cartons(10x) of what i found, that was totally eaten by larvas.

I bought an Arctic and G.S. from him and asked to pick out ones that were sensible. What arrived was 2 boxes with green and white mold all over the cardboard and a funky smell. So certainly not good for review. And not good for display either.

Btemple I'd be interested in buying / trading for them, if you aren't using them for display, I'm doing some work on restoring old ration packs (already mostly restored a 1985 GS) and I think this would be a fun challenge. Actually, do you have any pictures? Thanks :D
