Hello Gents,
Today I picked up a couple nice US canteens. The one on the right is an awesome Baker-Lockwood 1941 cover with 1941 cup and undated canteen. The other one I believed to be a run-of-the-mill canteen set
When I got home, I found that the cup was fused to the cover, no doubt caused by all the rust seepage. With a butter knife, i carefully worked it out and to my surprise, the cup has this odd steel sleeve on it.
What the heck is this thing?
Some sort of rarely seen accessory?
I am confident that the sleeve is “original” to the set seeing as it was essentially glued into the cover and rusted through to the exterior
I haven’t yet managed to get the sleeve off. I will work on that tomorrow when i have the proper tools
