Vintage Military Wool Felt Covered Metal Canteen Flask.

1956 NOS Vintage RIGBY & MELLOR Military Wool Felt Covered Metal Canteen Flask. Great for collectors These are new!  They were purchased by the Canadian government for the Civil Defence initiative to combat the panic of the Cold War.  Finally released from the National Emergency Strategic Stockpile, I'm the first person to handle these flasks since they were stashed away in a warehouse in the 1950s.  Again, these are brand new in mint condition.  You cannot get a better one! Also noteworthy is the broad arrow marking.  Also known as King's Mark or Queen's Mark, it represents ownership at one time by the British Government. This auction is for a single canteen measured approx 7 “ by 10”
