Confederate Canteen Identified to Pvt. John H. Astin, Co. I, 4th Texas Vol. Infantry Regt. Wounded at Gaines Mill & Chickamauga. Published in Sylvia & O’Donnell’s “Civil War Canteens” Reference Book, as well as in “Gettysburg Battlefield Relics & Souvenirs” by O’Donnell (Page 121).
One of the most recognizable, documented, and noteworthy of all Confederate Canteens. This classic “Gardiner” Pattern canteen is neatly carved by Astin with a bold and well executed five pointed star featuring “TEXAS” surrounding a “4” in the center, and “J.A. Co. I, Corsicana; Texas“. He also carved a Rattlesnake around the border complete with forked tongue, scales, and shaking rattle. Exceptional condition with no repairs or alterations of any kind. Deep patina to the wood. Don Troiani painted this canteen being carried by a soldier of the 4th Texas in a painting featuring Gen. John Bell Hood’s Texas Brigade. You can see this illustration in Don Troiani’s book “Regiments & Uniforms of The Civil War”. Ex. John Graham, Ex. Terry Heilman, Ex. Mike Ables collection.
