This is a great original Civil War soldier's canteen. This is a smooth side pattern of canteen that was often used by soldiers on both sides of the Civil War. This one is the pattern with the tin spout that is often listed as being from the St. Louis arsenal or possible a C.S. made version of the smooth side canteen. When you look closely to the sides of the spout, you can see where the soldier carved into the tin. In more modern times, they have added a reproduction cork and stopper to enhance the display. On the sides of the canteen it has the three original strap loops intact. This one is in fine shape and has most of the original cover still intact with a great well worn look. This will be a fine piece to add to your collection.
