THREE CONFEDERATE CEDAR WOOD CANTEENS.

THREE CONFEDERATE CEDAR WOOD CANTEENS. 1) Beautiful untouched canteen with original leather roller buckle sling and hand carved spout. Old typed tag glued to surface of canteen reads as follows: “William Edward Morton carried this canteen and this bayonet while in the Civil War. He enlisted in the 5rh Maine Regiment and was in Company E afterward transfered to the Navy. August Frederick Waltzinger Jr.” This canteen is in the kind of condition collectors love, nice and dusty and grungy with only a few scuffs and scratches to high surfaces. Sling is dusty and dry with several cracks but still solid, including the roller buckle. The hand carved spout has a newer appearance than the rest of the canteen, upon close examination we think it is contemporary to this canteen but only handled more. 2) Typical 7″ cedar wood canteen. Iron bands have been cleaned as has been body of canteen. Initials “EK” carved on one side of canteen. A leather sling of apparent later vintage has been added. 3) Another cedar wood canteen. This one the wood has a bleached look from probably life in a barn for many years. The bands and single remaining sling hook are rusty.
