They were known for wooden, and some copies of the typical Army canteen of the time, nothing like this. The screws/rivets in the side are an indication to me that this is postwar. Maybe from a reunion? Check out these images and compare construction to yours: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=confederate+canteens&atb=v229-1&iax=images&iai=http://www.riverjunction.com/assets/images/4331/canteen-1.jpg&ia=images Cool piece either way!
