Skillets are available in either 6" diameter or 10" diameter, with or without “spider” legs. These skillets are completely hand-made in the blacksmith’s shop and are authentic in every detail. They have a pressed pan and forged handle, and the handle is attached to the pan by three hammered rivets.
The handles for the small pans are approximately 9" long, and the handles for the large pans are approximately 13" long. Weight on the small pan is approximately one pound. The pans are seasoned and ready to use.

Coffee Pots
92nd Illinois Coffee Pot
This small hot dipped coffee pot is reproduced from the description of the coffee pot carried by members of the 92nd Illinois (Wilder's Lightning Brigade) as described by John M. King in Three Years with the 92nd Illinois:
“The cooking outfit for two men consists of one very light-handled sheet from a frying pan, one tin coffee pot with handle melted off and wire bail attached through two bayonet holes at the top, two tin cups, two tin plates, two knives, two forks.”
This is a nice little pot that will double as a cookpot or coffee pot.
$45.00
Small Coffee Pot
These hot dipped pots are just the right size to carry on your knapsack or bedroll. They are made for use in the fire. You won't have problems with leakage or parts falling off. They have an attached lid and riveted spout. They are one of our best sellers.

Tin Tea/Coffee Pot
Common style of coffee and tea pot for the early- to mid-19th Century. Made from an original in my collection, and constructed using machine-dipped tin, which was a much more common style of hot-dipped tin in the mid-19th century. Has a more uniform and “smooth” appearance than hand-dipped tin.

Civilian Filter Drum Canteen (Double Spout)
This canteen has a very fine brass filter inside that enables the drinker to filter the water that was put into the canteen before drinking. The small spout has a tube that goes into the screen filter, and the filter covers half of the canteen.
