    I've never seen one priced that high. Highest I've ever paid was $25.

    Unless i'm proved otherwise all canteens produced between 1910-1917 had NO makers mark or date.only 1918 would carry both.production would not continue again until 1942.i'm at a loss as to why the pre 1918 unmarked canteen seldom shows up.unless being pre-war they were only made in limited numbers.so a 1917 dated one would be rarer than pandora's box...............well it would if it actually existed.

    Morning everyone,
    interesting argument, if it can be useful for a comparison I add a example of US M-1910 canteen, complete with all its parts.
    The cup was made by the same manufacturer of your example:
    LF & C 1918 (Landers, Frary & Clark).
    Canteen is unmarked and is made in welded rough aluminum with 1914 cap and neck improvements; in my experience these features indicate a production made by Rock Island Arsenal, but I not sure.
    The cover, post-1917 patter, is marked:
    KEMPER THOMAS COMPANY 11 1918
    it is a well-known US Army canvas equipments supplier.

    Regards
    Roberto
