Definitely could be that early, maybe even the late 1800's. These style canteens were extremely popular Sometimes referred to as "western" canteens. Often used for camping, hunting and even cowboys! I used similar ones as a boy even into the 70's. Probably still have it somewhere. They still make this style today.

Greetings Gents,

The "USS" logo on the canteen is the United States Steel Corporation's trademark. The company was founded in 1901, so not a US Civil War's piece. I believe this is as discussed, a wholly civilian marketed canteen and not military. There may be more info to be mined on Google using "United States Steel Corporation marked canteen" or something like that.

Best,

V/r Lance

I agree looks civilian to me, seems quite large to have to carry around in combat.

My friend and authority as regards the knowledge on US uniform & equipment - Hayes Otoupalik clearly identified this canteen: "This absolutely an American civilian canteen and dates from the 1930s to 1960s period. These were widely sold for use in carrying extra water with the Car, and for people in desert conditions because of its large 2 quart design as used by American Cowboys, Hunters, Campers. It is not military."
