MODEL 1858 CIVIL WAR “BULLSEYE” CANTEEN:
This Civil War issue Model
1858 Canteen features the “bullseye” or ribbed sided
design. The body is full form with no dents,
deformities or holes and overall the tin has a nice aged
patina.
The unmarked spout is solid, still
fully intact where it is mounted on the body of the
canteen, and is not at all loose – and, it still retains
the original cork stopper in the throat. The two upper
sling keepers are present and intact, while the lower
keeper is missing, and may well have been removed
intentionally as there is no damage where it was
attached. The canteen body is solid with no open seams
or weak points due to rust.
This is a nice example of a Civil War “Bullseye” Canteen
that has survived in very respectable condition. (0227)
