Considering your 1944 Jerry Can ..
would you like a 1944 canteen, in stainless ( some where aluminum ) with
matching heavy duty canvas holder , with the wire bale that clips in a a
web belt of the era ?
    67 years old , in near perfect condition.
oh ..with 'canteen cup' too ....that the canteen nests into, with handle.
