<B>A Tin Portable Confederate Kitchen</B></I> This novel tin Confederate camp pot is marked 'Orange, Va.' was highly portable, allowing the soldier to carry this device with him onto the battlefield for use back at camp later. The two-piece kitchen is composed of a lower 4" canister that holds oil and a covered wick that provides the heat to warm the contents of the upper 4" diameter by 3" deep tin pot. The upper pot has a tin handle and ring on the accompanying lid. The upper pot is supported by three posts (one missing) that fit snugly into three receptacles in the lower pan to hold the pot above the flame. This is an interesting and rare set of Civil War camp kitchen accouterments. <BR><B>Provenance:</B></I><I>The William Turner Collection</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Smal (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
