Looking for info on an old die

[silence dogood]

Don't open it! I looked up Greek mythology. This is Pandora's can. You will release CSGs. Those horrible "chattering swarf gremlins".

A can with DIE DIE DIE written on it might just be a tester of mustard gas...

Spam in a can!

Don't open it, my recommendations are:

1. List it on eBay for $1000 as "vintage, NOS, rare"

2. Leave it for your heirs with specific instructions that they are to open it at your wake.

Either would be much more fun than opening it to find something you have no use for....

What kind of can openers existed in 1955? I had to man-handle with vise grips to get it open.

Wha shucks there, good buddy ... I'd 'a gotten out my ol' classic P-38

Forgot to mention: the brand is Greenfield Tap & Die.

In 1969, I was stationed in Korea and once a week we had C-rations. Dang, those biscuits sure were hard.
