1952 Korean War Emergency Water Full Factory Sealed Box Of 25 (10oz) Cans

1952 Korean War US Military Drinking Water Case. UNOPENED AND FACTORY SEALED CASE CONTAINING 25 (10oz) UNOPENED CANS OF EMERGENCY WATER MADE IN 1952 DURING THE KOREAN WAR FOR THE UNITED STATES NAVY & AIR FORCE. THESE CANS ARE FOR COLLECTIBLE AND NOVELTY USE ONLY, NOT SUITABLE FOR DRINKING. One sealed box is what you are getting. The cans shown on top of the box are examples of the contents from a case I opened for pictures and examples.

THIS IS GUARANTEED TO BE THE GENUINE ARTICLE, and part of a United States Navy & Air Force contract fulfilled in 1952 for the Korean War by The International Packing Corp in Richmond VA, who made 3 million cans of Emergency Drinking Water IN JUST 60 DAYS Contract No. Each can stands approximately 5" tall and measures about 2½" across. They were designed for a 30 year shelf life when packaged, THESE ARE NON POTABLE/NOT DRINKABLE. Inside the sealed box along with the 25 cans are 2 rubber coated can openers made by Walden Inc in Cambridge Mass. The factory box is made from VERY heavy gauge cardboard, and is in VERY good, solid shape for their 66 year old age.

Very cool historic item, in amazing condition, at an amazing price, grab them while they are still available. For antique/vintage items, please realize that some will have age appropriate wear. I will try my best to include any of such in our photo's/description.
