Condition Note: Reissue (Used)
As Reissue surplus, these teapots have been previously issued to military personnel. Because they have "been there and done it," please expect the following:
-
Service History: These items will show signs of use, including scratches, small dings, or surface oxidation. This is purely cosmetic and adds to the authentic character of the piece.
-
Storage & Use Marks: May have soldier’s markings, soot from field burners, or dust from long-term storage.
-
Cleaning Required: Important: As with all used cooking surplus, these require a thorough "deep clean" and a good scrub before first use to remove any storage residue or previous field grime.
