| Sharp Looking Tin Civil War Period Coffee Pot |
|
| NEW !
Here is another Excellent Civil War Period Tin Coffee Pot !
This one measures 9 inches tall, by 6.5 inches in diameter at the
base. All soldered seams and construction, inside and out, which
is indicative of period manufacture, as is the completely flat bottom.
Turned wood knob on the lid, and finger support on inside of the
handle. Lid opens and closes fine. These pots are actually rolled
iron, which was then tin coated, and this one still displays a bit of
the tin plating here and there. One very tiny little rust-thru hole on
the bottom. Just a Very Nice Civil War Coffee Pot, of the
type often seen in period images !

| Here is a Nicely Preserved Civil War Period Ration Can !
It shows the lead solder seam up the side, as well as the circular
base seam, with middle sealing dot. Looks like this one had a
hole poked in the center of the top, and then top cut out in a
semi circle. Partially crushed but the tin is still in remarkably
good condition, strong and stable. Measures approximately
4.25 inches tall, by 3.25 inches diameter. Nice Example of
A Period Tin Can, An Item Found in Every Campsite !

| Fine Original "Riveted" Civil War Period Sibley Tent Stove |
|
| Here is an Excellent Civil War Period Conical Sibley Tent
Stove ! It's a very well preserved example, with only a couple of
very small rust thru holes near the very bottom, and not burned
out like some either. Although these stoves were used by the US
Army from the 1850's thru WWI, riveted construction shows
this to be an early pattern. Late 1800s and early 1900s often had
welded seams. All rivets still nice and tight, and door hinges in
very good shape, door opening and closing smoothly. The pipe
collar at top also nice & tight. US Army Captain Henry Hopkins
Sibley invented the "Sibley" Tent & Stove in while on duty in
Texas, and supposedly Patented them ca. 1856. A Major
when the war started, Sibley resigned his commission to take
one with the Confederate Army, rising to Brigadier General
before war's end. As a result though, he never received any
royalties for his invention ! This is a Real Nice Example
of the Sibley Tent, Often Seen in period Civil War
Camp Photos & A Sharp Addition to ANY Camp
Display !

| Nice Condition Excavated Bullseye Canteen Half |
|
| Here's a Real Sturdy Dug Half of a Bullseye Canteen, that was
split right along the seam, maybe for use as an eating plate !
I used it for that purpose anyway, for years in the Civil War Mess
display at the end of our hallway. Had some corn, hardtack, etc.
on it, and a 2-tine fork w/spoon alongside. Went well with the
tin cup, and bottles also there. The iron or tin, is in excellent
strong condition, and not fragile at all. It was coated years ago,
maybe at the time it was excavated, and the clear coat is still
protecting it well. Displays beautifully ! Recovery location
unknown.

| Nice Small Civil War Period Tin Cup w/Generous Amount of Plating Still Remaining |
|
| Here is a Real Nice Civil War Period Small Tin Cup ! Looks
like something you could have seen around any Cabin Kitchen,
but possibly even at an Officer's Table. I know the 4 inch tall,
4 inch diameter Tin Cup, is considered the Army Issue cup.
But, By Golly if you look at many period images of camps,
dinner tables, and mess equipment you will see shapes and sizes
you never imagined. This Sharp little Cup shows construction
methods common to all Civil War Period Tin containers, such
as all soldered seams and attachments, along with a perfectly
flat bottom. It also retains a very good portion of it's original
tin plating, which is not often the case ! A sharp looking little
Civil War Period Cup, which looks like it would still hold
coffee or water today ! Measures 2.75 inches tall, by 2.75
inches in diameter.

| Super Nice, Small Civil War Period Tin Ladle |
|
| Here is a Wonderful Civil War Period Tin Ladle ! This little beauty
displays all the manufacturing methods, common to Civil War Tin,
including all soldered construction, and a perfectly flat bottom on
the liquid container. Approximately 9.25 inches tall total, with a cup
diameter of just 2.0 inches, and cup height of 1.375 inches. Cup
measure is right at 1/4 cup, so it's probably not a water dipper,
but I'm really not sure exactly what it was for !? Perhaps for more
of a household or store item, such as sugar, coffee, or tea. What
ever it's original use, it's just about as neat as a pin, and the first
one I ever saw in this size. An excellent addition to any Civil War
Period Tin Display !

|
| Here's a Good Solid Example Of the 1858 Pattern Smoothside
Canteen, produced in St. Louis, Missouri ! It has the usual old
dents, but no holes at all. All three sling loops are still present and
tight. Tin spout in good shape, with original cork and chain also
present. One side shows a little more surface rust than the other,
but neither one is real bad. Overall, a nice typical example of the
US Smoothside Canteen, Mid to Late War Western Pattern, that
displays very well !

| Nice & Unusual "Mug Style" Civil War Period Tin Cup |
|
| Here is an Excellent Little Civil War Period Tin Drinking Cup !
The tin/rolled iron has a super nice patina, with very minor rust
spots, all soldered construction, and perfectly flat bottom. Cup
measures just 3.125 inches tall, by 2.75 inches diameter at the
base, and 2.375 inches diameter at the mouth. Being wider at
the base than mouth, it was suggested to me that this might be
an invalid cup, but I don't know about that. Maybe, but then
again could just be a small little drinking cup too. I do know,
that it looks great, in a Civil War Mess Display, with plate,
utensils, and perhaps a bottle or two. Not a military issue for
sure, but is for sure a Civil War Period cup, and one that
would be seen in homes, and maybe even around
the campfire !

| Excellent 1850's Militia Tin Drum Canteen - Exact Example Pictured in Sylvia & O'Donnell's CIVIL WAR CANTEENS, Bottom of p. 66 |
|
| Here's a Super Nice ca. 1845-1855 Tin Drum Militia Canteen !
I took a quick look at Sylvia & O'Donnell's book, Civil War Canteens,
2nd Edition, to see if this pattern was in there. Surprisingly, I discovered
that not only is this pattern in the book, but this is the exact example
pictured ! It's at the bottom of page 66. The canteen measures about
4.5 inches in diameter, and 1.5 inches thick. One side is convex, and
the other flat. It has a rolled tin spout, three unsymmetrical sling loops
that will take a 1.25 inch wide strap, and all soldered construction. The
tin has a wonderful old patina, but other than the usual scrapes and
scuffs, the canteen looks like it would still hold water. Just a classic
example of the Pre-War Militia canteen, in great condition, and
a published example to boot !
