Original WWII U.S. Army canteen and cover set dating to 1943.
This authentic World War II military canteen is manufactured by A.G.M. Co. (American Gas Machine Company) and is clearly dated 1943 on the reverse.
The canteen retains its original black screw cap and chain along with the original olive drab canvas cover featuring the U.S. stencil and wire belt hooks.
The set shows expected wear from age and military use including staining, fraying, oxidation, scratches, and fading. The worn condition contributes to its authentic wartime character and display appeal.
