Thank you J.H. I made the haversack out of some sturdy cotton drill it is bassed off of pictures i took of an original in the M.O.C. collection at Appomattox. The spoon is an original, the knife and fork are well used but I do not know where they came from. My "spice tin" I found at a antiuque shop I think it used to be a snuff tin or maybe a cap tin it still has some of the original jappaning on it. The cup is a civilian style from Otter creek. Not sure of the maker of the boiler a Pard gave it to me, it used to be full of rust
. The plate is a nice heavy tin but dont know the maker of that either. The drum canteen is by village tinsmith. My hand towel is a piece of an old cotton shirt. My "lasses" flask is a period style but picked up for about a buck at Michales or somewhere like that. I have several poke sacks in my haversack also handsewn out of drill and muslin.
Here are some pics of the haversack I bassed mine on and a sanitary commision poke I plan on re creating.
View attachment 5245 Well heres the poke any way my pics of the haversack seem to be to large to upload. I cant seem to figure out how to compress them small enough to upload them. If any one knows what i can do to solve this Ill be happy to share them.
