Girl Scout Canteens
Although canteens were offered in the GS catalogs earlier than 1934,
they don't seem to have the GS logo on them.
​
The 1934 catalog clearly shows the GS logo.
​
Canteens have disappeared, replaced with water bottles.

-
This canteen with the GS logo may never have been available.
-
The catalog clearly notes that it is not available in 1945.
-
This may have been due to printing of the catalog prior to war rationing of metals.
-
The same style was offered in 1944, 1946, 1947 & 1948S without the logo.
