Canteen from Gettysburg Battlefield / SOLD

Canteen from Gettysburg Battlefield - Inventory Number:  GET 484 / SOLD

Early Battlefield recovery, this model 1858 “smooth side” canteen was acquired by our gallery from a collection of items which were picked up and stored since the late 1800’s.  The canteen is solid and not brittle.  There is a 3” crack at the bottom of the back side of the canteen.  There is still battlefield dirt embedded in the sling retention loops.  The spout has some personalized carving for the soldier to identify it as his own.  A great example of an early battlefield pick-up relic of Gettysburg.
