Still have a couple still wrapped in the brown paper wrapper that came in the bottom of the boxes of C-Rats! That was from my "Gator Navy" daze '68-'70. Several mfgr's made them, the ones that were made by Shelby are good! 'Still have the original one I had on my dog hook key chain when I was on the USS Princeton LPH-5 Viet Nam Cruise '68.
