What a great find! Too bad it's not an Ithaca, but Syracuse ain't that far up the road!

YouTube is full of videos of guys opening, tasting (sometimes not) and reviewing old military rations. The longevity of some items can be as amazing as the effect time has on most of it.

I tend to agree that this is collectible, although absorbing a $200 loss in exchange for the experience of solving the mystery might still be fun.
