c. 1765 Colonial to Revolutionary War Era, Wooden Stave Canteen with Wood Bands, Choice Very Fine. c. 1765 Late French and Indian to Revolutionary War Era Use Wooden Canteen measures about 9.25" long and 3" in diameter at either end. It has a nice intact original raised wooden spout, as typical missing the plug. This very scarce unusually designed and constructed example has eight wooden bands on each end, instead of the more commonly seen metal bands. Its original interior wooden staves have some slight even separation due to natural wood shrinkage over the centuries. This is a very pleasing, whole and nicely designed early American Wooden Stave Canteen that is attractive for display.
