The timber is in very good condition with only minor scuffs to the timber at the edges. The red flocking is also in extremely good condition.
The canteen was made by Mc Phersons Homewares in Victoria. They made cutlery canteens which were then branded by the cutlery companies who bought them. They were used by Rodd, Oneida and Grosvenor.
