unusual - Civil War Canteen Variant

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.

Best described here by our illustrations as to condition and eye appeal, this unusual canteen is patterned after the US Model 1858 smooth side with the exception that it features a soldered on circular reinforcement on each side. Crudely soldered but otherwise well made, the canteen measures 7 5/8 inches in diameter. Unusually crude soldering in combination with its cast pewter, higher and smaller bore than usual, flanged at the mouth spout are all indicative of potential Confederate manufacture. (see: Sylvia & O’Donnell - Civil War Canteens 1st edition pages 81 & 82 ) Remaining in untouched, as used condition, this canteen remains in most pleasing condition while offering a period indentation on one side as evidence use. A desirable addition to any Civil War grouping. 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!
