CONFEDERATE TIN CANTEEN WITH ORIGINAL COVER AND SLING.

CONFEDERATE TIN CANTEEN WITH ORIGINAL COVER AND SLING. This 6-1/2″ x 1-3/4″ canteen is one of many variants of tin canteens used during the Civil War. This canteen is as complete as you will find. Mr. Michel, in his notes, sums it up as follows: “Confederate tin canteen with ‘butternut’ color cloth cover and linen sling. If Confederate canteens are not readily found today, they are almost never found with the original cloth cover still intact, and then still more rarely with the original sling”. CONDITION: Canteen has several dents. Exposed surfaces are smooth with some rust and pitting. Butternut cover is complete with some minor moth damage and heavily soiled. Sling is fragile and has several tears but is sound and will support canteen with no fear of breaking. 4-31414 JS53 (3,000-5,000)
