RIBBED TIN CUP
We may be a little "late out of the gate" with this item, I know some other folks have been offering you this item for some time. Sorry but I was not going to list these until I found a tin maker who would make a quality cup at an affordable price. It took a while but here it is. The photo left is of our small, it stands three inches tall and is three inches wide. The large model stands four inches tall and is four inches wide.
These cups are made from good heavy quality tin which is "ribbed" in the center for extra strength. They are made of a good period design so they look great. The handle is large enough to get your hand in comfortably and it has the heavy wire throughout the handle which attaches it to the top of the cup. The small version of our cup holds 1 1/3 cups while the large holds 3 full cups!

TIN CONTAINERS
We are very happy to be able to offer these great tin containers once again. I underestimated just how popular they would be. We sold out of them in just a few weeks even though I bought the last supplier completely out.
Fortunately we have secured a large shipment and should not run out any time soon.
The uses for these great little tins is just unlimited. Use them for your med.s, tooth powder or to replace that plastic pistol cap container that's been rolling around in the bottom of your haversack for the last 6 re-enactments. I'm sure you can think of many more uses than I can. Any time you need a period correct container here's the answer.
The smaller tin measures 1.5 inches wide and 5/8 of an inch tall. Very similar in size to the old pistol cap tins.
The larger of the two measures 2.5 inches wide and 7/8 of an inch tall. Large enough to carry all the "in field" sewing gear a volunteer needs. Order several of each, at this price how can you go wrong?

CONFEDERATE COPPER MESS PLATE
After doing a little research and showing my plate to other diggers around the country I found that they were more wide spread than I first imagined. There are samples of the same plate dug in Vicksburg Miss., Shelbyville Tenn. and surrounding camps, Franklin Tenn. and from Confederate camps used during Gen. Hood's ill fated battle of Nashville. Most are exactly alike but a few have slight variations. All are tin plated on the top but not the bottom. The similarities of all these plates suggest a single source. My best guess would be that they were all ran through the blockade. If they were made by a southern company the raw material would have had to have run the blockade first. Due to the extended time span these plates were used I opt for the Blockade Runner theory as southern manufacturers often had to move with the shifting lines. Relocating equipment often means lost or damaged dies and molds. Remaking molds and retooling (in my opinion) would have resulted in greater variations from one time period to the next.
I have always thought this plate was a great relic and needed to be reproduced but I could never find that one person with all the expertise to make them. Not any more!
Our plate is made here in the states one at a time. Hand spun on wooden molds just as the originals were. They are then tinned over a charcoal fire one at a time using the exact same process used in the 1860's. They measure 8 1/2 inches wide and approx. 1 inch deep.
The plate in the photo top left is from my collection, I have another from the same Shelbyville camp but it's a little squished. The plate on the right is from Sanford Pott's award winning collection seen at major relic shows around the country. It too was dug in a camp near Shelbyville.

1851 PATENT 2 GALLON, FOOD SAFE
BRASS BUCKET
This style of bucket has been found in camp sites dating before the Rev. War. We chose to mark ours in the style of the Hayden 1851 patent showing that it is a pre-C.W. design. I think Hayden's patent was only an "improvment" patent as the bucket predates 1851 by 100 years.
The bucket itself is a perfect copy of the original. However we stamped them with our own "Maker's Mark" as we did not want them being sold for originals by unsavory types. That's the original "Hayden's" mark and patent photo left.
Our brass bucket holds 2 gallons of water, soup, stew or whatever your mess mates like. It's almost 9 inches tall and 12 inches wide at the top. It has a hand forged iron handle that has also been tinned so there is no portion of this bucket that will rust. I guess that's why you see so many of the originals are still around and when you take into account how many of these buckets fell victim to the WW2 scrap drives, well they must have sold a lot of buckets!
This bucket has 101 uses around a camp site. Just like the original these buckets are "spun" from one piece of brass. No solder joints! So you can heat all the water you want over the fire with no worries about it falling apart in the fire.

Stainless Steel Mucket/Boiler
Blockade Runner has been selling these muckets for over 20 years and I can not recall one person who bought one of these and was unhappy with it. The bottom is made of a one piece construction which makes them almost indestructable, it will never leak and since it's made from stainless steel cleanup is a breeze, even when you can't clean it right away!
It's great for cooking up that first cup of coffee in the morning or for making soups and stews from those "wonderful" rations the first Sgt. handed out. Imagine this, the host unit has actually prepared a great meal of hot stew and bread. Your standing in the chow line with your tin plate, it's your turn. The server tries to ladel your hot meal onto your plate. So what happens next? A: Your plate holds about 1/2 a teacup full and you spill most of that when the heat goes right through the plate and into your hand. Or - B: You open the lid on your mucket, recieve a generous portion and stroll off to find a shady spot to enjoy your meal. I choose B how about you?
Unless you misplace this mucket you will never have to buy another. It has a hinged lid to keep out the ashes while your cooking and it holds a full quart.
