Description
Unique Model 1858 Canteen Completely Covered in Leather. This eye-catching, oddball smooth sided Federal issue canteen has been totally covered during the period in brown leather and is complete with a narrow leather strap that adjusts with a small buckle. There is no stopper and the tin spout is unmarked. While this could be some unknown contract variation, it seems unlikely. On one side, very faintly visible is a name "__. Young" and below it possibly a unit designation...perhaps the skilled but bored soldier who created this intriguing accoutrement.Auction Info
