Model 1858 pewter "bullseye" canteen with 8 rings with original dark blue jean cloth cover. Philadelphia, PA: Joseph Hall Rohrman, [1863]. Stamped "J. Hall Rohrman Philad:" to spout. Diam. 8 3/4 in. Spout approx.1 in. Bazelon & McGinn, p. 288; Sylvia & O'Donnell, p. 100.
Joseph Hall Rohrman was a tinware manufacturer in Philadelphia who began fulfilling contracts under his own name in late 1862. The mark here corresponds to 1863 and late 1864, when Rohrmann fulfilled three contracts for canteens. (Bazelon & McGuinn, p. 288).
Rohrman canteens are rare, especially in the original dark blue jean wool cover. An excellent example.

Large items, framed pieces, and any item that we are unable to package and ship in-house will be marked in the catalog as being packaged and shipped by a third-party service. Successful bidders winning items marked as being packaged and shipped by a third-party service are responsible for paying the third party directly. We are happy to offer complimentary drop-off service to local third-party packing/shipping companies in Columbus, Ohio. Once an item is dropped off and no longer in our possession, Fleischer's Auctions is not liable for the item's safe handling or shipment to the successful bidder.
