Description
Nice Early Gettysburg Souvenir Canteen Marked "Round Top." A veteran of the most famous battle of the Civil War, the cover of this smooth-sided canteen bears the carefully stenciled lettering "[R]OUND/TOP" on one side, an obvious reference to where it saw action in July, 1863. The full cotton strap, stopper and original attachment twine are intact as is most of the brown wool cover. The spout bears the vertical stamping of the maker, "A. JEWETT." The canteen shows wear overall with the expected staining, worn and threadbare spots to the covering. The black ½ inch high lettering has corresponding wear but is clearly visible. A fine treasure from that important encounter.Auction Info
