Cleanout for hopefully a move.

French Military Wine Container, 1955 & 1956 Vintage
1955 & 1956 dated vintage French Military Wine Container. The container is steel not aluminum, inside is lined with some type of coating. The can is stamped SM and VIN (wine) and a guess it is about 2-2.5 gallon capacity (THIS IS A GUESS ONLY, not measured). The can has some type of spout or aerator(??) not sure what it is but was inside the can on a thin cloth strap. The tube unscrews from the end and has small holes in the tube part. This is a great item for your Viet Nam collection. These came from the estate of a RAVEN. Yes there is some surface rusting but nothing that looks to be through the container.
$30 each + SHI. They weigh 7 pounds each w/o packing.

I would have enjoyed hearing some FAC stories from a RAVEN. This is a true story.....I was flying over Laos in a single engine prop, calling airstrikes in some place we weren't supposed to be. I'd have bought a lot of beer just to keep the stories coming.

Good luck.
 
Had a neighbor that was a Green Beret, and did several tours in Viet Nam............always talked about being is places that we weren't supposed to be.........RIP, Colonel Bill..........
