TWO CONFEDERATE TIN CANTEENS.

TWO CONFEDERATE TIN CANTEENS. (1) Classic 6-1/2” tin canteen with one convex and one flat side and tin throat with three tin carrying loops. This is probably the most commonly excavated version of a Confederate tin canteen. This is a very presentable example, still showing large areas of orig surface and large areas of soldering. CONDITION: Numerous dents. Large areas of pitting. Several small pinhead sized holes. (2) About 6” diameter tin canteen with tin carrying rings and tin spout. This particular style canteen is excavated in various military sites from the 1840’s through the Civil War. Leather strap appears to be an old piece of harness leather retained with two iron brads and ends sewn. CONDITION: Canteen overall good. Scattered areas of rusting and pitting. Leather strap is sound, weak at a couple of areas. Thread where ends are sewn appears possibly newer than strap. 4-57119 JS236 (1,000-1,500)
