ANIQUE WOOD CANTEEN

IM GUESSING ITS A MILITARY  WATER CANTEEN. STANDS 9 INCHES HIGH WITH STOPPER. IT IS WRAPPED WITH A MESH TYPE FABRIC AND PAINTED WHAT LOOKS TO BE OLIVE DRAB. I HAVE HAD IT FOR FIFTY YEARS.IT WAS FOUND IN AN APARTMENT WE MOVED INTO ABOUT 1969-70.  FROM WHAT I CAN SEE THE STOPPER IS HARD WOOD. THERE IS A SMALL AMOUNT OF DAMAGE ON THE SIDE THAT LETS YOU SEE ITS COMPOSITION. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT HOW OLD IT IS,  WHO AND WHAT IT WAS MADE FOR AND VALUE. I DO NOT SEE ANY MAKER MARKS.
