1981 USMC Metal Water Can – Olive Drab, DLA-400 81-C4362
Authentic 1981 U.S. Marine Corps metal water can, contract-marked DLA-400 81-C-4362. Constructed in heavy-gauge steel with the classic “X” reinforcement and embossed “US” designation, this olive drab can features a hinged flip-top locking cap and a white enamel-coated interior for water storage. Black stencil “WATER” marking on exterior distinguishes it from fuel cans. Produced for the Defense Logistics Agency and built to military specifications, these cans are sought after for their durability and historical value.

Rust/oxidation present inside, particularly around the mouth and under the lid, as well as minor exterior corrosion spots. Interior enamel shows cracking with rust staining. Structurally intact and cap mechanism functional.
Dimensions:
18"H x 13"W x 6"D
