Bullseye Canteen - Original? Please Help


Recommended Posts

Is this Bullseye Canteen original? The age is convincing and it looks like it's marked "Hall Rohrman of Phil".

What do you think?

 

Thanks!

Canteen is original.  It's hard to see in the photo but it looks like some solder might have been added to the seam at some point.  It's hard to say when - lots of these canteens were used by reenactors during the Centennial and any repairs would now be pushing 60 years old.

I agree with VMI88. Many were also re-issued during the Span Am War era and who knows, it may have been repaired then.

Agree-- it is an original.

 

Used to see these a lot, but like everything else Civil War, they are hard to find now.

Yes-- you did fine.  Probably worth about $85- $125 in that condition.
