Ronnie Posted March 18, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 18, 2020 I dont really collect canteens so I cant explain this but.....here are my canteens. Well some of them.

I picked up a 1945 Volrath at a garage sale last weekend. I didn't really need it, but for a buck, I couldn't put it back down. Mikie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tthen Posted March 18, 2020 Share #5 Posted March 18, 2020 Outstanding Ronnie, been on the lookout for a 1941 canteen for some time now. Covers and cups don't seem to be to elusive, but man the canteens sure are. Thanks for showing, now I know they exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWII_GI Posted March 18, 2020 Share #6 Posted March 18, 2020 Very nice! You're definitely a canteen collector. Those 1941 dated canteens are ver very hard to find, I finally found one after a few years of searching so now I've got a full 1941 set just like yours.

cgutierrez Posted March 19, 2020 Share #11 Posted March 19, 2020 Here are my '41s. The one on the left is in an ATLAS 1941 cover, the center one is in an ATLANTIC PROD. CORP. 1941 cover, and the one on the right is in a BAKER-LOCKWOOD 1941 cover. I once had another '41 canteen that I sold to a fellow collector a while back.

Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted March 24, 2020 Share #17 Posted March 24, 2020 "I dont really collect canteens".......yeah, me neither Ronnie. WOW!, you have to have the best canteen collection around, a M1956 LLCE Canteen cover, the plastic experimental ALICE, a enamel canteen cup, very few items missing!

I’ve been working on a full set (cover, canteen & cup) for 41-45 years. Have them all except that 41 holy grail canteen. The hunt continues for it. Very nice collection though!

Last missing piece to my collection. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorleysMilitaria Posted January 15, 2021 Share #20 Posted January 15, 2021 Keystone, that canteen collection is magnificent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-40Warhawk Posted January 16, 2021 Share #21 Posted January 16, 2021 Great collections posted (and the 1941 TACU canteen, perfect!). I started out collecting with a mess kit, and now have too many mess kits and too many canteens, and on top of that I collect uniforms and still wind up with more canteens in groupings. 😅 Something to be said about the appeal of a canteen or messkit, they may be basic items but there is a whole collecting field to them both.

'Flage Guy Posted January 16, 2021 Share #22 Posted January 16, 2021 Ronnie, that is one of the best Canteen collection shots I've ever seen. Yes, you do collect Canteens; it just creeps up on you until one day you realize that you have this illness. No '41 Canteens, but here is an interesting comparison of 2 Baker-Lockwood 1941 Covers.

'Flage Guy Posted January 16, 2021 Share #23 Posted January 16, 2021 Of note is the back side of these Covers, showing the revamped construction which came about in '41-'42. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Flage Guy Posted January 16, 2021 Share #24 Posted January 16, 2021 Here is one out of the Jeffersonville Depot, made of heavy denim instead of the usual canvas, and still patterned in the original M1910 Covers with the main seam up the rear center.

'Flage Guy Posted January 16, 2021 Share #25 Posted January 16, 2021 The inside is insulated with O.D. blanket wool instead of the normal grey horsehair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
