The last canteen and cup touched together to keep deep it clean inside. Also the canteen might have lead insid it but not sure. A great video and information thanks for sharing. cup plan
All m1910 canteens have some lead in the soldering, I've heard of a study where they left water in one for a few years and the amount of lead that was in the water was barely readable. So I guess just don't leave water in it for long periods of time and you'll be fine
The metal you refer to as "brass" is actually a formulation of primarily copper and nickel known as corrosionless metal. Your "shiny" Canteen M1910 was manufactured by Rock Island Arsenal prior to the change to the domed cap in 1914, and also prior to subduing the exterior of the canteen and cup by sand blasting in 1916. The canteen you refer to as M1942 is a Canteen Stainless Steel aka as Canteen Corrosion Resisting Steel (no model number). Your Canteen Cup Stainless Steel was manufactured by Landers, Frary & Clark circa 1963.
Great video, lots of info. I would be interested in a video listing the manufacturers of WW2 canteens and covers.

Those are some nice canteens!
Love the new intro, good choice. Enjoyed this video, I just got a couple of the stainless steel ones to start using.
Can you do a video on how to -ack your Haversack with the pack tail
Great video, really good guide for purchasing canteens.
NICE
I am pretty sure that the rim on the m1942 canteen was to make it easier to take out of the cup
That would make sense
How safe is a wwi canteen dated 1918
