<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 37282, member: 37"]Does appear to be an early Hopi canteen. This would date to the very late 19th century at the earliest but I suspect it is at least a decade or two later. The most famous of the potters who produced these was Nampeyo but I do not think the work fine enough to be from her. Similar glue-on tags were used by the Fred Harvey Company that operated tourist gift shops at the Grand Canyon and other sites throughgout the Southwest. However, theirs had their name on them and I have seen similar tags used by other antique and trading post dealers up until the 50s. The fabric strap and wear to the canteen indicates that this may have been actually used at one time. I don't know enough about NA weavings to tell you if the strap is NA or not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
