Early World War 1 Spun Aluminum Canteen Complete with Chain and Cap The vast majority of these canteens, even though produced by a number of manufactures, are the same with variations rarely encountered. Variations are usually attributed to pre WWI production and do not bear any sort of manufacturers marks. This early pattern is distinctive in that it somewhat more oval in shape and was manufacture without evidence of a welded seam. Examples encountered often have a brighter shiny finish, and have a distinctive flat top non-knurled cap. In addition the chain is fixed with a removable clip fasten to the neck of the canteen body. This variation is most often associated with the early "Eagle" snap type covers initially developed in 1910. As with the other set I have on Ebay, this is in very good to excellent condition in my opinion. Though having a few small dents the body is very good and still holds water. The screw part on top does have some bending and dents. This was a problem on all these canteens and thats why they were changed to a reinforced "neck". The cap is very good though a bit hard to screw on. I think this comes from the neck being dented not from any fault of the cap itself. T is no cork seal in the cap but amazingly enough it still keeps the water in. It does leak if tipped upside down however all things considered
