IDENTIFIED CEDAR WOOD CONFEDERATE CANTEEN.

IDENTIFIED CEDAR WOOD CONFEDERATE CANTEEN. You are bidding on a rarely found Confederate artifact identified to the original Confederate owner and to the capturing Union soldier. As can be seen in photographs, this canteen is nicely carved “B.J. Tuttle, Comp. A, 13th Regt. S.C.V.” There are not a lot of canteens that have full names, company and regiment and state markings. This is a beautiful one. This canteen, as described and pictured in Stephen Sylvia and Michael O’Donnell’s book “Civil War Canteens” on page 20, is described as follows, “Wood drum canteen, 7-3/8″ x 2-3/8”, with iron bands and shaped sling loops secured by gooves cut into the slats, and a CS cotton sling with iron roller buckle and tin drinking cup. It has an unusual wooden spout which may be a replacement employing a thread spindle. Scratched on the face is “B.J. Tuttle, Comp. A, 13th Regt S.C.V.” According to legend, Tuttle was ‘taken prisoner May 3rd 1863 – paroled May 13th 1863’. The new owner was G.H. Collins of the 27th Conn. Vols As a battlefield relic of Chancellorsville, this CS wooden canteen is one of the earlier documented specimens. While several have come from 1862 sites, the vast majority appeared during the summer of 1863 with the fall of Vicksburg and Port Hudson.” Canteen still exhibits its original roller buckle linen sling with attached drinking cup. This is a rare combination that we have never seen for public auction before. CONDITION: Canteen overall in very good condition, several small scrapes and scratches to canteen body. Sling tattered in places but intact. Attached cup and roller buckle very good overall with scattered rust and pitting. 4-37213 JS31 (7,000-9,000)
