Description
This is an original WWI U.S. M1910 mounted cavalry canteen with cover. The canteen was manufactured in 1918 by Buckeye Aluminum Company of Wooster, Ohio. The canvas cover was manufactured in 1917 by Powers Co. The cover's reverse is marked with its original owner's identification, an apparent "Lt. Seyr, 102", presumably of the 102nd Cavalry Regiment. The 102nd Cavalry Regiment wasn't established until 1921, though, which points to this piece seeing use after WWI.
Provenance
Personal Collection of Chelius Carter
Condition Report
For being well over 100 years old, this canteen is in good condition. Unfortunately, the canteen's cap cork is missing, and the leather hanger has torn.
