Mexican War Canteens, tin drum, US embossed, 1840, 1850

C & D Jarnagin Company


Canteens

After over 30 years of crafting beautiful quality tin products, our Master Tinsmith has retired. As a result of decreased demand for tin products and rising costs of materials we are discontinuing our tin products. Please call before ordering to see IF we still have what you are looking for in stock.


 

Canteen Care

* After each use rinse your canteen with warm water and baking soda. Store your canteen with the cork out. This will help prevent rust and corrosion.
* We have not affixed the canteen strap on drum canteens because many wish to paint their canteen. This will also give you the ability to adjust the strap length according to your needs.
* We recommend that you use only distilled water in your canteen. Tap water contains many minerals that will promote rust rather than prevent it.
