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 shows no dents. Dark brown wool cover shows light wear and there are a few small patches of wool missing. Pewter spout and strap brackets are intact. Spout has worn Philadelphia maker’s stamp (Hadden, Porter & Booth).  No shoulder sling.  [jet] [ph:L]
