[CIVIL WAR]. Confederate canteen captured at Port Hudson by Sergeant Charles F. Waldron, Co. C, 24th Maine Infantry Regiment.
7 1/4 in. dia. x 2 1/4 in. dp. wooden drum canteen with iron hardware and carved body (scratching and surface cracking throughout, with some chipping to and gapping between staves; even pitting to hardware and missing two of three retaining loops; sling not present). Canteen retains separately carved wood spout, though mounting hole has loosened too significantly to retain it. One side with artistically carved identification, "Chs. F. Waldron / Co. C. 24th Regt. Me. Vols. / Port Hudson, / LA. / July 8th. 1863."
