    Description

    This is a replica of an official aluminum  Boy Scout Trail Canteen with a tan fabric snap on cover.  The cover has OFFICIAL TRAIL CANTEEEN and a picture of some young people camping screen printed on the front in black lettering.  These were made as replacements for the original boy scout pieces and fit the official canteens.  The canteen itself is also a replica of silver aluminum with A screw on/off black plastic top and a small chain to make sure the top does not get separated from the bottle.  Very Boy-Scout like design!
    The canteen is in very good condition with very little wear to the bottle or the top.  It is dirty from storage and could benefit from a good cleaning.
    The snap on cover is in vintage shape.  Tired and aged fabric and one of the snaps has pulled away so that it no longer stays closed.  This could be repaired if you wanted to make the effort.  The back canvas and belt belt holder is still attached and useable.
    I think this piece would make a great display item in a den, playroom, boys room or home school classroom.  Great presentation, even if the snap is a bit wonky?  It looks great with other Boy Scout memorabilia like The How Book of Cub Scouting seen above.
    Fun, nostalgic piece!
