Description
New York Depot Canteen with Regimental Markings and Leather Strap. The exact one described and pictured in the recent excellent book on U. S. Army and Militia Canteens by Mike O'Donnell, this canteen is "consistent with the Depot's 1863-65 output" but has a "seldom seen regulation brown leather shoulder strap." The author believes this canteen might have been ordered by one of the N.Y. State units from the same tinworks that was making them for the U. S. government. This example has a clearly stenciled "D" over "2" in large white lettering on each side of the cover. The full brown cover has a small torn area on one side and the leather strap is broken in one place with some crazing. The piece has its original stopper and iron chain.Auction Info
