Posted in the world m ill litaria forum, thought I'd repost here as more appropriate.

This canteen was sent home by Abraham L. Clapp, serial 34257316, in a nice homemade box. Looks like Co. A 131 Engr Bn (G)

Box looks like teak or something similar.post-185627-0-25591500-1551054563_thumb.jpg

Very cool! I like crated ship home items, but all I have so far are rifles. 9 of them actually, haha!

What's the APO listed on this box? And is there a date noted anywhere?

You wonder how a box made it, how about a coconut from Guam to KY 1945 with no box? After Iwo 21st Marines went back to Guam and Dad painted this coconut and mailed to Mom. Richard

Looks like APO 453. Here is a pic of the canteen label.

That’s the Philippines.
