STEEL AND TINWARE
SMOOTH SIDE CANTEEN This is a reproduction of one of the most common types of canteen issued by the Union Army during the war. Similar canteens were issued by the Confederates as well, and of course, many captured Union canteens were used by Rebel soldiers on all fronts during the war. We offer these in durable, long-lasting stainless steel. The canteens are constructed using lead-free solder, and each canteen is equipped with a canvas carrying strap, cork chain, and wool cover. Holds about a quart of water. Covers are available in Gray or Dark Blue.

ITEM # TIN-2...CARTRIDGE BOX TINS Our Cartridge Box Tins are made of heavy duty tin, just like the originals. Cartridge Box Tins are used inside the Cartridge Box to hold cartridges for safety reasons. Most reenactments won't let you on the field without them. If you have already bought your cartridge box but don't have your tins yet (because the Sutler you bought it from...unlike BUTTERNUTS AND BLUECOATS...didn't include them with your cartridge box), we have them in both Springfield and Enfield pattern. Just FYI, you need two Springfield Tins to fit the Springfield Cartridge Box, but the Enfield Cartridge Box uses a bigger Tin and you only need one. That's why they are different prices!

Item # TIN-2-B...Enfield Cartridge Box Tin $8.00 EACH

BULLSEYE CANTEEN WITH WOOL COVER Soon after the war began, somebody in the U.S. Ordnance Department decided that if you stamped a series of concentric rings into the side of a tin canteen, it would help to prevent them from getting dents in them. It didn't work all that well, but many thousands of these canteens were issued to Union forces (and used after being captured by Confederate forces) during the war. The canteen is made of rust-proof stainless steel, with lead-free solder. Sorry, not available in tin. Available with wool covers in dark blue or gray. $23.99 EACH
