Old Canteen Identification Needed

[diggummup]

Picked this up earlier today at a sale as a wall hanger. Figured it's CW or earlier by the looks of it. Just trying to confirm and get some opinions on this piece. Approx. 6" diameter not including the spout. About 4 1/4" wide. What do you think?

You got some fries to go with that Big Mac? I'll take the number 2. Any info on it? Post or pre CW era?

I wouldn't want to drink out of that - unless I really, really needed to... and I remember times when I would have guzzled whatever that thing held but that was long, long ago and far, far away.

Yeah I would have drank from it too back in the day, but with all the lead solder in it I can't remember if I did....
