I'm not sure what time period this canteen is from, but it was dug here in Vicksburg this past week. It's apparently made of tin with a soldered joint. The spout has threads, which I believe would indicate a post-Civil War production, perhaps 1880s to 1900s.

REPRO ART NOUVEAU
I love the graceful lines of this reproduction art nouveau sculpture. Perhaps my enjoyment has something to do with the subject.

ANCIENT CRUCIFIX
I purchased this Crucifix at an estate sale here in Vicksburg many years ago. It's one of my favorite pieces.

WWII CAP - ID UNKNOWN
This cap was bought along with some other WWII relics a while back. I haven't been able to identify it. I suspect it may be French, but that's just a guess.
The number "59" is stamped inside.
