I received this fire starting kit in a tube with an Air Force grouping from the early 60's. I have searched near and far and have not found one single piece of info on it. Has anyone seen this kit before and is it military issue? The detective in me wants to open it up and see what is in it, but if I could find a description or picture of the contents, my curiosity would be satisfied :D

You open up and you destroy the value. As I recall its a flammable jelly you use to start the fire. Its not super rare but you don't see them that often.
