I love that you never know what you will discover on this forum.
P-38s came in all the c-rats. I always hated throwing them away as it seemed a waste. I was an Army brat and grew up on c-rats when we camped.
Here is a can of GP food I found in my basement dated Feb 1968. We used to also use this for my boy scout troop. I figured you two guys are the only two people in the universe who might be interested in this (besides my brother who said "cool.")
Does this mean I'm a hoarder? Does patina apply to food tins? How about 'all original' and 'barn find' (technically basement find)? Is there a vintage food tin forum? What's more rare, a Feb 1968 GP food tin or a Speedmaster 145.012?

Seriously though. What do I do with it? I can't just toss it? Put in my casket just in case I need it the afterlife? That would seriously mess with future anthropologists.
