Excellent confederate drum canteen, spout, strap loops, solid tin, good seams. This is the real McCoy. There is a slight rusting on some areas of the sides. You can almost see this one hanging from its canvas strap around some "Johnny" making a long and dusty march. (kb2) $595 sold |
This is an excellent original Civil War smoothside canteen. It is complete in every way other than missing outside cloth. It is in essentially the same condition as the day it was issued. the canteen is perfectly sealed. No cracks, no damage, no breaks, and no holes. The original stopper fits snuggly within the tin spout. The original cotton webbing shoulder strap is also intact, unrepaired, and complete full length, with the classic soldier tie-up knot to wear the canteen at the right length. This style of smoothside canteen is either a St. Louis Arsenal or Cincinnati Arsenal--both being essentially identical in form, design, and measurements as this one. The perfect addition to your collection....$325 (kb559) |
