Canteen cover is marked, POWERS, 2-18.

 

Can anyone one tell me when this cover was made? Does the 2-18, indicate 1918?

 

Canteen inside was a 1944 Vollrath. The attaching clip looks bronzey, not iron.

That would be correct, 1918. The Army used all existing stocks (if the surplus store did not) so it is not unusual to find WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam dated items all mixed and matched. Nice cover.
