ETN Posted December 4, 2020 Share #1 Posted December 4, 2020 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETN Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted December 4, 2020 Also, is this a repair or just a manufacturing flaw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMI88 Posted December 4, 2020 Share #3 Posted December 4, 2020 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.

USCapturephotos Posted December 4, 2020 Share #4 Posted December 4, 2020 I agree with VMI88. Many were also re-issued during the Span Am War era and who knows, it may have been repaired then. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETN Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted December 4, 2020 Thank you both! I'm glad it's original at the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottiques Posted December 4, 2020 Share #6 Posted December 4, 2020 Agree-- it is an original. Used to see these a lot, but like everything else Civil War, they are hard to find now. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETN Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted December 5, 2020 One last question Did I do OK for 50.00? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottiques Posted December 5, 2020 Share #8 Posted December 5, 2020 Yes-- you did fine. Probably worth about $85- $125 in that condition. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
