Founding Fathers was a Delegate from Pennsylvania. Along
with signing the Declaration of Independence, he would later
sign the U.S. Constitution and served as a Representative in
the First Federal Congress from 1789-1791. Letter is in very

the reverse side and also personalized by the owner with a
carved 'E+B' near the hole. Canteen is very solid but does
have a few issues. The old strap loops were removed
(originals were short and normally mounted near the
middle of the width) and a more lacquer type finish is over
those areas - probably to seal the nail holes of the removed
straps. Wear can be seen in the middle of the canteen in
these areas from the original strap wear. New strap bands
were added from old leather and personally if I were keeping
this I would remove those strap bands. Still a good sound
example of the more desirable US marked 1812 canteen.

decent for an 1812 display - and the price is far below that of a
