Prussian reservist canteen. This is a model adopted during the reign of Wilhelm II between the wars of 1870 and World War I. It can be dated to around 1900.
The glass flask is protected by two metal half-shells, which open via a hinge. The front is painted. The back, made of brass, features a cane-like pattern. The stopper is topped by the imperial eagle with outstretched wings. A braided cord allows it to be carried.
The standard model could be personalized with the regiment number, the hometown, and the owner’s name. This one belonged to a veteran of the 84th from Darmstadt (State of Hesse). However, the banner intended for personalization with a name remains blank.
The painted side features all the traditional symbols and inscriptions: “Heimat” (Homeland), “Res.hat.ruh.” (Reservists have a rest), “Wir dienten treu dem Vaterland” (We served the fatherland faithfully), “Andenk a.m. Dienstzeit” (In memory of my time of service). These are arranged around a barrel straddled by two merry fellows in uniform, surmounted by the crown of the Holy Roman Empire.
