U.S. M-1910 Condiment Can

The M-1910 condiment can was a tinned iron can that held rations of coffee, sugar, and salt. The main body of the can was split into two compartments with a screw cap on each end. One of the caps was also the third compartment as it had a pry-off lid on the underside and a half-inch of storage space inside of it.

This condiment can is made of tinned iron, and was manufactured to hold coffee, sugar, and salt.
