Unknown WWI Era Canteen - Any Ideas?

[Teamski]

Anybody have an idea where this canteen came from? It has a serial number on the front of it and is marked "1B NY" on the bottom. Thanks!

Its a pre-ww1 spun canteen. The early ones are unmarked. It has the earlier cap too. Very nice and tough to find

I appreciate the help. Thanks!

Here is mine. Found in a box of camping items at a garage sale during a trip to Michigan this summer. Stamped on the flat top: 2K 25.

 

Enjoy, Al

It is a second type M1910 canteen with the improved neck and ring. Dates around 1913 t0 1914.

1BNY I have seen referred to as first battalion New York.

I have to dig a bit more, but I have several items similarly marked. I believe it is the 1st Battalion. New York Naval Militia. WWI era.

Though this canteen set and some other photos I will post are from a a friend's collection, They are good examples of how this unit marked it's equipment. Again, I'm pretty sure this is equipment for the NY Naval Militia, but have not found a direct evidence. This first set is an RIA 1915 marked canteen set with all matching numbers.

more photos of the 1915 Set One side marked 1BNY and the other with the rack/soldier number.

Lastly the cup with the rack number.

Next set is a 1912 dated RIA Cover.. Also all matching numbers

Canteen top with 1BNY and Number

Next item is a 1910 bolo marked 1BNY.
