Confederate Screw Cap DRUM CANTEEN (see: old Museum of the Confederacy Collection)

NOTICE

********NOW OPERATING FROM OUR NEW HEADQUARTERS ********



Now fully operational from the beautiful Pacific North West, we encourage all to keep a close eye as we unpack posted offerings and continue what will be an ongoing effort of unpacking the collection while taking stock with an eye toward thinning out our accumulation of treasures. After years of seeking out and acquiring all manner of quality antique Americana from simple but seldom surviving items of special interest to historically important treasures, Janet and I look forward to offering the fruits of our years of seeking out such to new and appreciative homes.

An especially desirable offering for the knowledgeable Confederate collector, this screw top drum canteen is well documented by a like example of the type to include the screw cap housed in the old Museum of the Confederacy collection. (see: p.57 Sylvia & O’Donnell first volume ‘Civil War Canteens’) Measuring approximately 8 ¼ inches in diameter by 2 5/8 inches thick rim to rim, this original, untouched example remains in desirable as carried condition with unquestionable age and construction. Frequently cast aside by miss identity of the period, this classic Confederate style drum canteen offers the rarity utilized and frequently overlooked 10/27/1858 John K. Chase patent for Improvement in Manufacturing Screws of Thin Metal. (see illustration) Please note that manufacturer markings on the early screw caps are key to dating. Post war examples offer the original 1858 patent date along with the 1872 patent extension date while the earlier caps are unmarked. (see: Sylvia & O’Donnell ‘Civil War Canteens’ second volume p 72) Buy with confidence! We are pleased to offer a no questions asked three day inspection with return as purchased on direct sales! Just send us a courtesy e-mail to let us know your item will be returned per these provisions and your purchase price will be refunded accordingly. Thanks for visiting Gunsight Antiques!
