Item Details

Description

American Revolution
Choice Red Painted Barrel Type with Stave Construction Revolutionary War Period 18th Century Canteen
c. 1776 Revolutionary War Period, 18th Century Museum Quality Fully Red Painted Barrel-form Stave Canteen, Hand-carved initials "I B", Choice Very Fine.
This nice Revolutionary War Red-painted Barrel-form American Canteen is made of staved construction with four splint bands at each end and pine heads. One side head with the clearly hand-carved initials "I B" indicating the owner. Its overall length is about 8" and the diameter at the widest part is about 5.5", tapering slightly to 5" diameter at the ends. The bunghole measures about 1-1/8" across and the bung stopper itself is lacking, as typical.
The red painted surface is uniform with some light natural expected wear appearing perfectly contemporary to the period with minimal loss. This canteen is in excellent museum quality condition. We have seen and offered many canteens of the period, only very few being fully painted, none being as well-preserved and attractive as this. An excellent specimen for display.
