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....(kb559) $325 |
US m1858 smooth canteen, complete in all aspects...very slight rust, all loops attached, no holes, it does have many wear dents on both sides, clearly from extensive use. It has a cork stopper and chain. These appear to be added, however it does not detract from the canteen and may very well be war added. Excellent epresentative from the war.(kb314) $195 reduced |
