Description
An Imperial Japanese Army WWII Canteen with Carrier. This utilitarian metal canteen features an oblate spheroid body, finished in a dull, dark olive-green or bronze tone. It is encased in a harness of faded khaki woven fabric webbing that also forms a shoulder strap. A cylindrical wooden stopper, featuring a metal ring at its base and secured by a cord to the webbing, closes the bottle’s neck. The style is consistent with military or outdoor expeditionary equipment from the early to mid-20th century. No discernible text or manufacturer’s markings are visible on the item itself.
Condition report:
Apparent condition shows notable wear, including minor dents and surface abrasions on the metal body. The fabric straps exhibit significant fading, fraying, and soiling, consistent with prolonged use. Overall good condition for age and type.
