I am selling a group of items for a friend's family. His Dad had lived in the same house since a wee lad in 1914, and throughout his life, he was a collector of everything. The downstairs in the home is a veritable museum. Most everything he had was well protected, and I believe many of the things he had were not too old when he acquired them; thus the items are generally in very good to excellent condition. This gentleman was also a Seabee in the South Pacific during WWII, which is w we believe this and other military items (soon to be listed) were acquired.At least this item I recognize: Japanese aluminum canteen. Which type or issuing agency I don't know. It's about 6 x 9", and all straps/webbing are intact. The stopper removes, & leather & buckles are complete. T is a mark on the bottom of the piece that can be seen in the pic. T is a small (3/4") field repair on the center strap on the backside of the unit. Light rusting on the buckles, & a rust stain on the carry strap, as seen in pic. Remnants of the issuing agency/identification stamp are on the main strap, but are unreadable.Guaranteed to be of WWII vintage.Good luck in your bidding. Please email with questions or for more pics.
