World War 1 WWI US Army Military Aluminum Canteen 1918 US AGM CO

Pretty good condition for its age. This is a World War I US Canteen marked AGM Co. Which stood for Aluminum Goods Manufacturing Company was founded in 1909 when three smaller firms merged to become AGM Co.

The company produced a variety of household and kitchen items in peacetime and switched to aluminum items for military use during both World Wars. In 1957 the company changed its name to Mirro Aluminum Company. This item is in largely unrestored original condition. It has a newer cork mounted in the cap. I have cleaned the interior with salt and hot water to remove the hard water scale built up over the decades.

The cap chain is present and intact. The canteen shows relatively minor dents and scratches consistent with use and age but the welds are solid and the canteen does not leak.

It could be a candidate for a full restoration but I think its more valuable in its present condition. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Militaria\WW I (1914-18)\Original Period Items\United States\Personal, Field Gear". The seller is "michaelc1701" and is located in this country: US.
