I'll also second the motion for food cans.

Re: Tinware you'd like to see reproduced.

how about a good repro of a small fry pan. No too many out there with the hooked handle and riveted to the pan.

Got a nice 6" pan from a fellow in Topeka, KS a while back. It has a 14" handle with a 1 1/2" downward hook at the end, attached with two rivets. It is very light weight and has proven its worth to me; makes a fine cornbread and holds a piece of hardtack nicely to soak up the bacon grease.

If you'd like his email address, give me a holler. He also makes larger pans.

Frank Ellis has us covered well on the fry pans with 7", 9" and 11".

As already mentioned above, would like to see a small coffee pot, matchsafe, spider (not tin but it would be nice to see a good repro), complete officer mess sets, more plate styles.

I realize that you are asking about tinware, but if someone would make the little hat vents that are often seen in original forage caps I would be very happy. All of the originals that I have seen were made of brass, but if someone has a tin one that can be used as a pattern I would buy several for myself and my unit. Brass would be preferable if you can work with it, though. Thomas N. Rachal, 47th NYVI.

I'd have to agree with both the English mess tin and a good, cheap matchsafe. It'd sure be nice to have one of these without getting ripped off on cheap crap from sutler's row, or having to scour ebay for one that's of the right period.

A tinsmith could make a small fortune reproducing a period matchsafe.

I am another who would love to see the forage cap vents. This seems to be a some what popular item, and has no representation in the hobby. I highly doubt it's usefulness, but it is definetly a neat item, and appears to have been a some what normal item.

Yes please do send me that e mail address, do you remember the cost of the fry pan?

I would like to second the mass-produced Federal eating utensils from EOG bar none!

To my knowledge there is NO ONE making sets of these. We are "forced", due to lack of an alternative, to use the period civilian pieces we find here and there, or the combination utensils.

For those seeking an accurate Federal impression this would seem to be one of those must have pieces that none of us has.

Is there any piece of documentable (private or public collections) and obtainable for inspection :D , tinware that you would like to see reproduced?

Just curious... ;)

How about the Sanitary Commission cups which were out there aout 15 years ago? I never got one and would love to get a second chance at one.

Maurice,

Welcome to the A/C forums. As a side note remember to sign your name to all posts, or use the signature feature. It is the first rule to the forums.
In regards to your post, you still can buy a USSC cup. Go to Otter Creek Tinware, and click on "Cups, boilers, and dippers" it is near the bottom of the page. John Peterson makes excellent tinware.

I would personally like to see more Tomatoe can boilers reproduced in a correct fashion.

How about the U S Sanitary Commission cups? I saw them at 125th G-Burg by a fellow from Mass. and regret not buying one then. A full size slide together knife,fork and spoon would be welcomed as well. Bud Scully
