Why are there 22 bids on this canteen & cover?

[Brit-Tex]

I can't figure out what is so special about the canteen or cover in this eBay auction.

Probably not so much that it is special, just that there are several ebay members that don't know how to bid and they are bidding in tiny increments. There are only 5 or so bidders, one is responsible for about half the bids.

Seems a bit high to me but I'm no expert on canteens, just what I see selling from time to time.

Crazy price for that rig. :/
