Championhilz Posted April 13, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 13, 2014 I went to the Vicksburg Civil War show yesterday - I didn't pick up any Civil War relics, but I did find this great German canteen decorated during the occupation period: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfields Posted April 13, 2014 Share #7 Posted April 13, 2014 That is a great looking piece of souvenir art! I would have bought it too. I assume this is post-WWII and not WWI? Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCapturephotos Posted April 13, 2014 Share #9 Posted April 13, 2014 As soon as I read your title I figured it was going to be related possibly to the 42nd Division and their time in Austria. I have seen several of these but never found one myself. Someone must have been producing them there for the troops. What a great find!

Strac Posted April 14, 2014 Share #13 Posted April 14, 2014 This is a great reminder to look under and inside of canteen covers to see what might be lurking there, even if it seems like nothing is at first glance. If this canteen had a cover on it the artwork may have been missed. Very nice piece! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
