Kalamazoo Toy Show- Unlisted 74A Refreshment Canteen

[matchbox_n_molars]

I found two new 74A Refreshment Canteens at Saturday's Kalamazoo Toy Show. One of them was this example, an unlisted variation from what I can tell. It is like Variation #14 from Nick's resource (#12 Stannard). It has the common light blue base, 9x24 GPW and the rounded foot (Stannard type 'A') under the hitch. This variation is supposed to have the hatch door with thick supports but this one has what Nick refers to as the thinner "single hinge brace".

Greg,
Some nice finds at the Toy Show! If I recall, these canteens are one of your favorite models.................... Well Done.
Looking forward to seeing you in July in ABQ!
