Canteen spout question

[AZFarrier]

I'm sorry to say I have melted my spout on my smooth sided 1858 canteen while soldering one of my strap holders. Could any one point me in the right direction to get another spout so I can repair my canteen.

PLLEEAASSEE!

Might just try calling whom ever you bought the canteen from in the first place. They may be able to sell you just the spout.

Best thing to do is get in touch with Otter Creek Tinware (approved vendor), he has retro fitted many canteens with just spouts.

Ken I bought the canteen off a guy more then 12 years ago. Josh thanks, I wasn't sure if they did spouts. I'll look them up.

Timely question. I recently lost the turned wood spout on my Gardner canteen and need to replace it with something--wood or tin--before it dries out.

Try this. A hotchkiss fuse for a spout and make a wooden stopper for it. This canteen was on William Leigh's table at one of the shows. Only drawback is that it may act like one of the novelty "dribble glass" with those slits in the top.

My suggestion is to just make a stopper that fits the hole in your canteen. It will be easier to fill.

Jim,

I will echo my pard Spence, , that canteen is a great relic. I love field modified gear whether out of necessity, to much time on their hands, comfort or general soldier ingenuity. Thanks for posting the picture.
