Revolutionary War Soldier’s Camp Wooden Stave Canteen
c. 1770-1780s Revolutionary War Era, Large Size 11” x 6” x 13.5”, Soldiers Camp Wooden Stave Style Canteen with Wrought-Iron Bands and Decorative Hand-Carved Stopper, Choice Very Fine.
This impressive unusually large size Revolutionary War Era Wood Camp Canteen measures about 11” x 6” x 13.5” including its original Decorative Hand-Carved Stopper which is present. This Canteen has two iron bands and small strap loops, support legs to keep it standing upright, and a small pencil eraser size vent hole, lacking plug. A standard Barrel design type which is as illustrated and described in the Neumann reference work titled, “Battle Weapons of the American Revolution” page 33 and which is typically also illustrated in similar references on the Revolutionary War. There is some light honest overall wear from use. The rich natural brown patina color and overall condition is quite exceptional. One iron band is a bit loose due to age shrinkage to the staves. A nice addition to any Revolutionary War, or period Military Collection that is excellent in its museum quality eye appeal and ready for display.
