MODEL 1890 SPANISH AMERICAN WAR ERA ROUND MEAT CAN
OR MESS KIT: 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 no corrosion, no misshaping,
only minor handling dents, has a fully functional
locking handle, and still retains much 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 not have that
stamping.
Overall this is a very nice specimen. (0226) $150
