Hello all,
I am very excited to show off my first Meal, Combat, Individual! Ham and Lima Beans with a B-2 Unit. The seller I bought this from said it was in a case dated in April of 1967. The box has seen better days, and so has the Ham and Lima Beans can, but the B-2 Unit and Pecan Cake are almost in perfect condition! I have yet, and probably never will, open the accessory packet. If you have any questions or information about this C-ration, please hit me up with a reply.
- Top in perfect condition!
- The damage, I think the juices in the Ham and Beans leaked.
- Cake roll was in perfect condition! Code: 15 2 67 4
- Accessory packet with cigarettes
- B-2 Unit was in very nice shape! Code: 12 66
- it rusted very little on bottom, probably from the Ham and Beans.
- Ham and Lima Beans with Juices, really hard to read, and also got some weird gunk on it. Code: 219 6
- Ham and Beans had a nice dent on the side
- Also had quite a bit of rust on the bottom
I am a man of few words, so sorry if I didn't give any details or wasn't descriptive enough.
PS If I posted this in the wrong thread please let me know, it really wasn't a review so I wasn't to sure. Thank you!

$40, I'm not sure how much MCIs are worth, but compared to most prices on eBay, I think I got a pretty good deal.

Excellent! Amazing deal, especially with the cigs. I just won a bid yesterday on an MCI with cigs for $43. I should receive it in a few days. I'll definitely post pictures. Congrats! Take care.
