Vintage U.S. Aqua Pure Drinking Water 12 fluid ounce flat-top steel can. Packed by Teasdale Packing Co., San Jose, California (Continental Can Co. code visible).
Front features the classic red, white, and blue shield logo with “U.S. AQUA” and “PURE DRINKING WATER.”
Side text promotes it as highly pure water processed under scientific methods that will keep for years under ordinary storage. Key marketing claim: “IMPERVIOUS TO NUCLEAR FALLOUT • RECOMMENDED FOR CONVENIENCE AND EMERGENCY USES – IT IS CHEAP INSURANCE to have a supply on hand.”
This is a classic Cold War-era (circa 1950s–early 1970s) civilian emergency/survival water can from the “duck and cover” period. Popular with collectors of fallout shelter items, civil defense memorabilia, vintage cans, and preppers.
Condition: Sealed/full (appears unopened). Shows expected age-related wear including light surface scuffs, some rim oxidation/rust spotting, and minor label wear. Please review photos carefully for exact condition.
Great display piece, conversation starter, or addition to a fallout shelter / Cold War
