In amongst some helmets and such that I picked up at an estate sale, there is an old (and I mean OLD) canteen. Any collector of vintage anything knows, or knows of, somebody who sold something valuable for peanuts because they didn't do proper research. I'm not saying this canteen is U.S. civil war, but from pics I've seen, the possibility exists as it looks like period pieces from that era. The canvas and stitching are very old, but the strap and perhaps the chain used to hold the stopper may be later additions. Any real civil war buffs able to either give me a definitive yes or no or point me at someone who can. Thank you all!
