NO RESERVE:THIS IS A SPECTACULAR OLD CANTEEN WHICH IVE HAD SEVERAL CIVIL WAR COLLECTORS LOOK AT AND IDENTIFY AS A PRE -WAR ARTICLE, POSSIBLY DATING TO TURN OF THE CENTURY (1800 -1825) I WAS TOLD, DO TO ITS LARGE SIZE, IT IS WHAT IS CALLED A COMPANY SIZE CANTEEN. ITS CONSTRUCTION IS VERY PRIMITIVE , MADE FROM WHAT APPEARS TO BE DARK PINE BUT IS QUITE HARD FOR PINE. AND IS BANDED TOGETHER WITH IRON STRAPS AND HAMMERED DOWN RIVETS. I DONT KNOW IF THE STOPPER IS ORIGINAL TO THE CANTEEN BUT THE APPEARENCE OF THE WOOD AND PATINA ARE CONSISTANT. T ARE NO MARKINGS THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND. I ADDED THE ROPE TO HANG THE CANTEEN FOR DISPLAY. THIS CANTEEN IS QUITE LARGE HOLDING APPROX. 1 GAL.THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL OLD ARTIFACT AND A FINE ADDITION TO A COLLECTION OF WAR OF 1812 OR EARLY 19TH CENTURY.I WILL OFFER A 3 DAY INSPECTION PERIOD AND REFUND MINUS SHIPPING IF NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS ITEM.PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS EARLY AS I DONT ALWAYS WATCH MY AUCTIONS ON CLOSING DAYS.
