| I have known Ann & C.W. Webb for 25 years. Until he passed away a few years ago, C.W. and I used to Display Civil War Artifacts at the Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park Museum. Though my collection and C.W.s were mostly military related, Ann always collected Civil War Period Civilian Items, including Jewelry, Eye Glasses, Dental Tools, and much more. So, a few years ago, she and I started displaying at the Park once a month in the Summer months, and had great fun. She also collects Cdvs and Period Cookware, and sometimes brings those items to display. I think we both enjoy showing interested visitors our artifacts and explaining their purpose. |

G, 2nd Missouri Infantry, First Missouri Brigade, C.S.A. - Camp near Grenada, Mississippi - December, 1862 - From the book, " Memoirs Historical And Personal Including the Campaigns of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade" - Edited by Ed Bearss |

There are a few small holes but nothing major and it still retains its original shape quite well. Measuring right at 6.25 inches diameter, it is very similar to several examples in the Civil War Canteens book. Give it a look. The link at left goes to Mess Equipment !
