Scarce Circa 1906 Philippine Insurrection Era Experimental Canteen for US Army

This is an experimental canteen for the United States Army which was used during the Philippines Insurrection era. The canteen was experimental in that it was used in a tropical clime yet had a wool insulating layer. There is a chain connecting the cork to the mouth of the canteen, and the body of the canteen is secured within a canvas covering by laces.

Circa 1906.

Approximately 10-1/2" height and 9" width.

Cotton canvas cover, cork stopper, steel/tin/galvanized tin hardware, twine, wool insulation.

One triangular brass loop on each side.

This is from a United States Army collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAJJX05 LCDEX8/10 SCJJX6/14

7+ (Very Fine+): Covering has some small spots of discoloration.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
