Original Civil War Model 1858 corrugated-pattern tin canteen, often called the “Bullseye” pattern. The body consists of two circular sections of pressed-tin soldered together at the rim. The bullseye or corrugated pattern of concentric rings began in 1861 as an effort to increase the durability of the item.

Canteen body has no dents. Brown wool cover is worn and there are several holes in the cover but has a nice appearance overall. Pewter spout and strap brackets are intact. Spout is unmarked. A period replaced stopper with chain.

A typical Civil War canteen with that “been there” look.  [jet] [ph:L]
