These tins have authentic painted finish to duplicate ration tins as provided to British and Commonwealth troops during World War 2 - ready for D-Day and are of museum display grade accuracy and quality.  The ultimate mid-century retro!  All ration tins are priced and sold empty.

Small flat tins are rectangular and pocket sized - 4.25" x 3" and just over an inch deep.  They feature lid retention lip bulges and a corner coin pry groove as well as a modern silicon lid liner to provide a more air tight seal.

Large flat tins are large and flat - way bigger than your pocket.

The "Tommy Cooker" (TC) Hex (Hexamine) Fuel tins have an inner airtight lid and a slip on cover - they are a little over 2" diameter and 4" tall.  An optional authenticity upgrade kit adds an authentic internal card liner set, spare mild steel stove burner disk (flat) and lid sealing tape.

The tall round tea cans are decorated WW2 A1 size and smooth sided sealed cans (of British air!), these can be opened (we recommend a can opener), then they can be used for storage, display and holding the levers on dummy hand grenades on trip wire traps (JK).

Brown ration tins come with an authentic re-sealable tape band around the lid joint.

Boiled Sweets, Salt and Matches! - because everything was rationed - including getting a head start on diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure.  We do have authentic British Boiled Sweets, replicated salt packs (holding single servings).  We have just secured a large lot of NOS US edition Victory math books which I have cellophane wrapped - 7 of these per Boiled Sweets, Salt and Matches as featured in the "Alphabet" Compo Ration Crate Menus (with Biscuits).

Horlicks! - the emergency chewable action food of adventurers, polar explorers and the RAF!

Tea! - because every adventurer should stop every 2 hours to drink and pass hot yellow liquid.

Please see our other listing for various Tommy Cooker versions, parts and accessories.

These rations tins were used in various numbers in 14 Man crated rations and ARV and other vehicle ration cases for 2, 3 and 5 men.

Tins are not waterproof, bear proof or crash tested, not to be exposed to raw food and drink (for its contamination).
