mrrm Posted November 17, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 17, 2018 Does anyone know of or have a list of all known manufacturers of WWII USGI canteens? Are there any that stand out as being rare or uncommon? I did an on-line search with no real results. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldabewla Posted November 18, 2018 Share #2 Posted November 18, 2018 There was a WWII canteen cover makers list on here but no canteen makers how ever the only two makers of the 1941 dated canteens and blue enamel canteens are some of the rare ones made for WWII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
