| Fine Example of the U.S. M1858 Bullseye Canteen |
|
|
NEW !
Here is a Fine Example of the U.S. M1858 Bullseye Canteen ! The first M1858 patterns were what we call smooth sides, but beginning in 1861, they started adding the rings, believing they made the canteens less susceptible to denting. This one is in very good condition, retaining its pewter spout, and all three sling loops. It has one small spot of white paint and a tiny pin hole on one side, but shows no dents. Someone has lightly clear coated it in the past, but it looks good. A Fine Displaying U.S. M1858 Bullseye Canteen !

| Nice Non-Regulation All Soldered Civil War Period Tin Cup - Same Size Pictured in Some Library of Congress Images |
|
| Here is an Excellent Civil War Period Soldered Tin Cup ! I sold this cup some time back, but the owner finally found a “regulation” cup, and asked if I wanted this one back. It is a good period cup and I replied in the affirmative. It is a larger size example at 4 inches diameter by 3 inches tall, and has moderate surface rust on all the metal. It shows a crude solder attached tear drop shape handle, slightly misaligned where it attaches at the bottom, all soldered seams, and a completely flat bottom. It appears identical in size to one pictured in the Library of Congress, Prints & Photographs Division. That one is being used by members of the 71st New York Volunteers to dip soup or stew from a large kettle. A Nice Civil War Period Tin Cup that Displays Great !

| Large Ten Inch Diameter Mid-1800s Wood Drum Style Canteen with Raised Square Spout, Vent Hole & Chain. |
|
| Here is an Excellent Condition Mid-1800’s to 1880’s Large Wood Canteen ! It is quite large at approximately 10 inches diameter by about 5 inches wide. The two flat sides are each constructed of three panels, while the 5 inch wide circular edge is constructed of about a dozen wood slats or pieces, all held together with two tin or iron bands. The spout hole has a raised square support around it, like you often see on early British canteens, and just beside it about 2 inches away, there is an air vent with a small copper tube protruding. Directly opposite the spout area, there are wood feet in the slat arrangement, so that you could stand it up on edge. There is an old chain crudely attached to two loops on either side of the spout for carrying or hanging. One of the two bands holding the pieces together is loose, but it still serves its purpose, and won’t just fall off. I have sometimes seen these described as being wagon canteens, but I honestly don’t know. A Fine Displaying 1800’s Wood Canteen ! [L.L.]

| Big 5" Tall by 7 Inch diameter Civil War Period Tin Cooking Pot/Pan |
|
| Here is a Wonderful, Civil War Period or possibly Earlier, Tin Sauce Pan or Pot ! At first glance, it has the form of a large tin dipper, but the inordinate large size is convincing that its intended use may have been as a sauce pan or cooking pot. The pan itself measures 5 inches tall, by 5 inches diameter at the base, and 7 inches diameter at the top. The quite sturdy handle is about 7.5 inches long, giving the entire piece a length of approximately 14.5 inches. This thing is big, just seemingly too big, to be a simple dipper. It shows all hand soldered construction, with a completely flat bottom, and a rolled lip at the top edge. Most of the tin shows a nice old mellow brown patina, with the only tin plating still evident being inside the pan. Just a Super Nice Old Soldered Tin Cooking Pot or Pan, that is Rarely Encountered in this size !

| Nice Original Confederate Tin Drum Canteen w/All three sling loops and spout intact. |
|
|
Here is another Fine Displaying Example of an Original Confederate Tin Drum Canteen ! This is the second one of this pattern I have had in the last year. It has a short tin spout, and all three sling loops are present. The tin shows a nice mellow gray patina over the body, with a couple areas of moderate surface rusting. The canteen measures right at 5.75 inches diameter by 1.75 inches wide. The sling loops are the smaller pattern, possibly intended for a cotton cord sling. There is a similar example in the book Civil War Canteens, by Sylvia & O’Donnell, on page 71 & another on page 74. Those are just a tiny bit bigger in diameter at 6.125 inches, but like this one they are about 1.75 inches wide, have two convex faces, and the smaller loops. Like the examples in the book this one also has an off center spout, and sloppy soldering, even showing how the 1.75 inch wide side is made of two pieces soldered together below the two upper sling loops. The spout on this one is unusually short, like the last example I had, and I thought it may have been field repaired at one time, but after handling two now, both with the short spout, I think they were likely manufactured that way. Overall, a Great Displaying Example of the Classic Confederate Tin Drum Canteen !

| RARE Pattern Confederate Tin Drum Canteen w/Spout Support - Spout & All Three Sling Loops Intact |
|
|
Here is an Excellent Confederate Tin Drum Canteen Variant ! It is a known pattern with two examples pictured in the book, Civil War Canteens, by Sylvia & O’Donnell, on page 57. Like one of the examples in the book, this one measures right at 6.25 inches diameter by 1.75 inches wide. All the metal shows surface rusting but nothing serious, and there are no apparent holes, though there is one small separation on one side of the spout base. The spout base is re-enforced with a separate piece of tin, that surrounds it, and is soldered to the top of the canteen. The books says, “The additional support for the spout was probably in response to complaints from the field. Although rare, enough still exist to indicate a sizable production.” A Super Nice Displaying and Uncommon Confederate Tin Drum Canteen !
