The model 1858 canteen was the most popular canteen of the Civil War period. The canteen measures approximately 7 ¾” in diameter. It is covered in brown jean cloth wool. The cover is mostly complete and in fair condition. A seam separation is present on one side with partial loss. As well as a few scattered small missing sections. The cloth wear appears to be period usage in service. A minor dent in the iron body can be felt on the rear of the canteen.

All three sling loops, the spout, and the stopper are present. The spout is not maker marked. This is a New York Depot canteen as it has the iron chain connecting the stopper ring to one of the side strap brackets. The original cotton duck double sewn sling remains with the canteen and is in fair condition. Having seen much usage like the canteen, but with no rips or tears.

This is a good example of a Civil War smooth-side canteen from the New York Depot complete with cover, sling, and stopper. [stp] [ph:L]
