More On The Kevin "Kiev" J. Kirby Water Canteen.

This container has apparently been sold by Kevin Kirby, as I found the same images on the net at:  http://kievkirby.com/?cat=11 

So to date I have not found anything else replicating this container. It could be a military water carrier's canteen, It could have been an ink seller's keg, & it could even have been a gunpowder keg.

Gunpowder kegs sometimes used copper or brass bands to avoid accidental sparks.
