Love it, not common! Something I'm missing in the junk pile.
Very nice! These were only made during 1942. This one appears to be made by F.E.Co - Fletcher Enameling Co.
Ahh Chris Cheers! You are on it Mate!
Thanks guys!First one I have had,dosent seem very practical as there is rust where the enamel chipped off,on the outside at least.
Thanks,here is a better pic in natural light.I wonder if they didnt scrap these and reuse the steel,I just dont see them around.
Very nice I have a friend who collects them
They are uncommon but not rare, they also used blue enamel and I think I have one those lying around somewhere. All enameled canteens (should) have the early plastic flat top cap I believe.
The enameled cup though is VERY rare and fetches a high price whenever one comes up for sale.
Very nice canteen, I'm sure these cost more to produce than your regular stamped canteen as well. Even rarer yet is the enamel messkit which demands serious money.
