CN06. CONFEDERATE CEDAR WOOD CANTEEN: This is a Confederate cedar wood canteen complete in original condition with all original wood, two steel bans and three steel sling cross bands. There is a name carved on it, but it is difficult to get a positive identification. The initials “RO.” may be for the names RO or Robert, and the next initial, which initially looked like and “H” is in fact an “I” followed by more letters that are difficult to make out. Also, there is the letter “R” and on the opposite side is a Letter “B” with no other marks. With a little more time it is possible the name can be made out, but without more information it is nearly impossible for a perfect match. It is a great looking Confederate Canteen in original untouched condition. Shipping & insurance is included. $2300.00

CN07. CONFEDERATE CEDAR CANTEEN - IDENTIFIED - 14TH REGIMENT LOUISIANA INFANTRY: This Confederate Cedar Canteen is identified to Private Joh Gottling of the 14th Louisiana Infantry. He enlisted on 1 June 1861 as a private. It is a standard Confederate cedar canteen and is complete with all original wood, two steel bands, and three steel retention straps with some black string attached for support. The front circular section of the canteen is somewhat warped in and not flush with the groves.

CB02. PATTERN 1864 US CARTRIDGE BOX – EXCELLENT PLUS CONDITION. This Pattern 1864 US cartridge box is in all original, never cleaned, treated, or redyed, and is in excellent plus condition.

The bottom of the box has both roller buckles and round brass finial. Both buckles are complete and the stitching is strong.

CN04. UCV (UNITED CONFEDERATE VETERANS) CANTEEN - ARIZONA MADE: I do not normally purchase UCV or GAR items, but this was very unique and tied to the state of Arizona, and being that my site is located in Arizona it just make sense to bring this back to the state where it was made. Hopefully, there is a collector here in Arizona that would like it. It is a United Confederate Veteran (UCV) canteen made for a Confederate reunion. It is a miniature copy of a Confederate tin canteen, measure 4" x 4" with a tin screw top, with a linen sling. Perfect for whiskey or tequila. On the front you can see the faint outline of the letters "UCV" and on the back you can see the makers information: "O K" "Angel Contreras" "Wickenburg." The 1880 US Federal Census records shows Angel Contreras listed as a Tinsmith, and Wickenburg is a town in Arizona just west of Phoenix. He most likely made this canteen for one of the few Confederate reunions held in Arizona. Arizona play a small part in the Civil War, but after the war many veterans ended up in the state because of the gold, silver & copper mines. The canteen is in outstanding condition! Here is a unique piece of American history tied to both the Civil War and the state of Arizona. $350.00
