FINE CIVIL WAR CONFEDERATE TIN CANTEEN.

The canteen's diameter is 6" not including the loops or spout. One face of the canteen is slightly convex and the other is slightly concave. It has 3 squared loops around the outside to facilitate a suspension strap. The spout is soldered into the top with a rolled opening and what appears to be the original cork. Canteens like this have been recovered from numerous Confederate campsites and battlefields. CONDITION: as usually seen there are some dents on the convex side and the strap guides are a bit pushed in. Overall, this canteen is in superior condition to most that have survived the war. (02-17788/BF). $600-1,000.
