  • Original Items: Only One Set Available. A pair of Indian War Era US Army Pattern M1874 Meat Can Mess Kits. 3rd type meat can with the solid handle and off-set ring on the lid. Both have US marked on the handle and are offered in very good condition. This is the Type-3 version of the 1874 pattern mess tin or "meat can."


    A lid with pull ring can act as the soldier's plate and the body of the tin has a folding handle so that it can act as a frying pan. The handle has a US stamp at the end. The top snaps into place tightly in the bottom section. There is some of the original tinning, now a dull gray. Nice examples of regulation issue mess tins.
