Antique Arts Crafts Pair Silver Plate 64oz Canteen Decanter Meriden B Lethr Box

Description

This is a super rare pair of vintage/antique Silver Plate 64oz
Arts & Crafts Rectangular shaped Decanters/Canteens
, made by Meriden Britannia Co.
Made of Silver Plate (the caps at least), these are large 64 ounce canteens that come in their original fitted Leather covered wood and felt lined presentation box!
Canteen Bottoms are stamped "Meriden B Co International S Co  1333  64 oz".
They are unmonogrammed!
Inside of caps indicate a patent date of 1927.
Both canteens hold water when upright , but one of canteens is missing its small round silver plate button at the top of the cap, revealing the brass underside button.  This canteen will leak water if laying on it's side because of the missing cap button.
The other Canteen will hold water in any position.
Otherwise the canteens are in decent condition, but mostly unpolished, except for one cap.
Leather case opens/shuts fine (no key), but has a tattered leather bottom, other minor leather loss, missing leather handle, and areas of discoloration and normal edge bruising/wear.
Canteens measure about  9" tall to top of cap, by 6 1/8" wide, by 2 1/2" deep.
Box measures about 10" by 13 3/4" by 3 5/8" tall.
Each canteen weighs about 2.5 lbs!
An awesome old set, that will really pop when all polished up!!!
