Original Enameled US Canteens In 1942, a few canteens were made from enameled steel in order to save aluminum. The experiment was discontinued after a year or so and the quartermaster switched to stainless steel. All of these have some blemishes in the enamel and a bit of rust. Also, there are several makers in the mix, but we sorted them by condition only. If you have your heart set on a specific maker, we can look. Grade 1 $75 Only a few spots. Like the one in the pic. Grade 2 $55 10+ spots, more rust Grade 3 $40 spots and/or substantial dents. |
