Soldiers travel Knife, fork & spoon. A nice period unmatched set. The knife and fork slide inside each other to protect both pieces. The spoon is made of pewter and folds against the handle. All with wood handles. While not a matched set they are close and were probably used this way.
A good representative set and fairly priced.

Canteen or grease container, early and possibly confederate. Handmade of iron with a "rat tail" handle. Complete including the handmade chain, brass spout and screw in stopper with visible file marks. A small 4 1/2" x 2 1/2" plus spout and handle. With the small spout it could have been used for bear grease with the iron body helping to heating it up to flow out. With the handle folded down the canteen rests upright at a 45% angle. I have seen this style canteen also called a confederate medical canteen due to the handle. Cowans sold a similar one they considered confederate missing the chain they sold it for $375.
My price with chain -
