****************************************

*** These wooden canteens are commonly misidentified as "Russian Slivovitz canteens" by lazy sellers who have no clue what they are offering and can't care less to do even a quick online search. Please read the description below for the accurate info about this vintage item ***

This vintage empty wooden canteen flask was hand made in Serbia (part of Yugoslavia at the time) in the 1970s as a special limited edition for the famous Serbian brandy manufacturer Navip. Made in a traditional folk-art styling and shaped as a miniature reproduction of traditional oak wooden barrels in which a freshly distilled plum brandy would have been placed for further ageing in order to attain its best flavor. Inside this hand crafted mini barrel is a classic round glass bottle. The wooden canteen is reinforced with  metal straps and it also has four metal legs for safe displaying as well as a colorful woven shoulder strap with a weaving pattern typical of traditional Serbian folk outfit belts and  shoulder carrying bags. The original twist-off bottle cap is included.
