Great idea. It really does look like a full crate.........!
( 'Hiram Walker' produces the famous 'Canadian Club' whiskey, and an assortment
of other alcohol/liquor beverages. They are located in Walkerton Ontario, Canada.
I suppose they could have had - and still may have - several offices
across North America )

Thanks for the kind words everyone. FYI. Here is the bundle of repop K-rats I used to photocopy for two rows of rats.

Very cool find Ive seen a individual ration here and there for 75-150$ but never a find like that. I did happen to find a large group of d-rations in a friends fathers footlocker!!! He said he remembered eating them as a child he ate two in about ten miniutes and was sick and constipated for a week! ... to bad he didnt save those too Thanks for sharing!

AmericanKraut, I think you may have misunderstood my original post. I did not buy a crate full of K-rats. I bought the empty crate with liner and then made a cardboard insert to make it look like it was full of K-Rats. I am sure there are still undiscovered, full WWII crates of K-rats out in the world, but unfortunately I have not been lucky enough for find any of them.

I understood that, I was mentioning that the crate was awesome I have only seen reproduction ones and a few real individual rations. As a reenactor alot of the items I see like this are repros, no one brings their good stuff in the field which is probably a good thing ...
