Comarderen:
A hunter found this "spider" iron pan near Pocotaglio, SC off Hwy. 17 on private land, he found it in a clay bank adjacent to a creek, well preserved. Sold it to me today for $12. It matches the style found at the Greenville, SC Confederate Museum and in the Confederate EOG, Uniforms and Equipment volume. No markings are present, notice the long crease at the bottom, this was common to the museum spider as well. I don't have the page number for EOG off hand. I also remember some reference to some poor AOT Johnny hauling one around in his knapsack and refused to abandon it, the members of his mess loved it so much that lugged it everywhere.
So what do you think, is it the real WBTS version, or could it be Rev War or post CW? There's always an expert for everything on this forum! :tounge_sm
