Early Crescent Canteen - French & Indian, Revolutionary War Reenactment

Description

Early Crescent Canteen
Used from the early 1700's through the end of the 18th Century, the crescent canteen was a popular pattern for military and militia soldiers from many different nations. Early versions were made of sheet iron while later ones were constructed of tin. These canteens saw widespread service in colonial American conflicts including the French & Indian War and Revolutionary War. Our version is made of tin and given a black finish that approximates the look of the tin covered sheet iron originals. The piece comes with a cotton cord strap that is easily adjusted for size.
