Remaining in excellent plus condition with no dent, rust or condition issues of any kind this flat, kidney shaped, canteen measures approximately 9 ¾ inches across it’s face by 6 5/8 inches high by 1 ¾ of an inch thick. It retains it’s period harness leather strap. Seldom surviving outside of major museum and private collections, such a canteen was on display in the medical section of the old Gettysburg Visitor’s Center Museum before their recent move. A Medical Department marked example appears in Damman’s Pictorial Encyclopedia of Civil War Medical Instruments & Equipment from the authors personal collection and a variation of the type may be seen published in Sylvia & O’Donnell’s CIVIL WAR CANTEENS . That example was from the well known Beverly Dubose Confederate collection. A fine example of a very difficult to find canteen type, this offering is, like all we offer, guaranteed to please.
