Original Items: Only One Set Available. This is a set of a US marked Indian Wars tin drinking cup with rolled edged. The cup measures 4” tall by 4” wide, the handle also features rolled edges.
Also included is a M1890 US marked round meat can in good condition. Introduced to replace the Model 1874 Meat Can, this round Model 1890 Meat Can was introduced immediately before the Spanish American War and provided the soldier with a larger frying pan and plate, thought to be more utilitarian.
This solid specimen shows minor corrosion, no misshaping, only minor handling dents, has a fully functional locking handle, and still retains some of the original tin plating. Not all of these meat cans were surcharged with the “US” stamp on the handle, as were the Model 1874 Meat Cans, and this example does has that stamping making it very desirable.
