Description
Water Filter in Tin Case. With the fear of getting sick in the field from contaminated water, many soldiers purchased patent water filtration devices such as this. This specimen is housed in a 3" x 4" oval tin case bearing the stamp of the case's manufacturer below the clasp: "Patd Jan 24, 1860 / S. Parker." Inside is coiled the filter; an ivory mouthpiece with a 1" long tubular filtering section connected together by a 20" long rubber hose. The filtering device itself is completely unmarked.
