- WAR OF 1812 CANTEEN PAINTED RED, 4" X 6" personal
size cheese box canteen that was popular from the late Revolutionary
War to the War of 1812. A very unusual size much wider than usual, two
leather straps remain which a linen strap were once attached. The
canteen has quite a bit of the original red ochre paint denoting
military use; both straps are attached by two brass pins. This is the
first one of this size we have had in stock. The cheese box was
popular due to the light weight and the lower cost to manufacture. In
excellent
condition......................................................................$350.00
