This is a nice original Civil War soldier's canteen that is in non-excavated condition. You can just picture the soldier using this one in battle or in a Civil War campsite. This is the style referred to by collectors as the "smoothside" pattern because it is made without the reinforcement rings that were designed on the side of the canteen body. It has one of the three original strap loops present on the sides of the canteen. At the top of the canteen it has the original tin spout intact. After it's time of use in the military it was painted, likely for display in a veteran hall. The painted what looks like a outdoor scene on the side. As you can see this one still displays well. It is a neat non-excavated artifact. This is a nice used but not abused canteen that meant enough to the soldier to keep it and have it painted for display.
