Original Civil War Smooth Side Canteen, Possibly Confederate Must See
Civil War Original Canteen, Possibly Confederate Must See!!! Please refer to pics for condition. This smooth side Civil War era canteen definitely differs from the 1858 pattern. Notice how the spout is constructed.
I have not been able to find another example. Found in an old house in Union City Tennessee. Measures about 8 1/2 inches across. One of the clips for the strap is broken off.
