There is a case of MCI's up for sale on ebay. The unusual thing to me is not the case of ration's itself, but where they were made. The case was produced in Mobile, Alabama. I work in mobile and I never knew they made ration's there. Here is a picture of the case

Thanks for the link, norge.
Hmmm...he says the date packed is 7/77 but they stopped putting cigarettes in the MCIs around 1972/1974. So either the date packed is wrong or whoever wins that auction is going to be very unhappy when they find there aren't any cigarettes in there.

puh, dammed, i made a mistake, used point instead of komma and gave 1222 dollar instead of 12,22 dollar as my highest bid.
sorry for that, canceled my bid.

At german ebay two c-ration cases were sold the last 4 weeks. the seller said, that no can is boiled, everything is like new, stored all the years in a cold basement.
the prices were 150 and 180 Euro.
