[50th VA Corporal]

I just wanted everyone to know I just received a CS drum canteen that George made and I can acclaim it is one of the best places I put my money to work.

This is not an everyday same-o same-o quality one see's on sutler row canteens - this is the work of a true craftsman. I am a "tin junkie". I have a complete kitchen of several dozen pieces from the Village Tinsmith, makers from historical sites, etal, and I am very hard to please in this catagory.

I must just tell you, this man is a true artisan.

Dollar for dollar you cannot beat his quality.

Do yourself a favor. Throw away your sutler row and Paki imitations and buy one of his. You won't have any disappointments.

Now, what else do I need...

I would have to agree with you on the quality of George's goods. I recently bought one of his canteen stoves, and I am very impressed. It is very unique and very well made.

Thank You very much, and I won't let it go to my head. Well maybe a little bit, I try to give the best product for the money. And it's Made in the USA.

Later I will have a good supply of Smoothsides and Bullseyes, plus different styles of Drum canteens as well as Cups and Boilers.

I used to sell to Sutlers around the US, but now all they want to sell is the junk from Pakistan.

Who ever said Stainless Steel was OK to use, should be taken out and shot.

Hey George,
Do you have a website we can check out showing some of your tinware?
Thanks,

Mr. Parault,

That is not Mr. MacGillis' website. That is Bill and Judy Hoover. For now he is just posting stuff on a photo page. I'm sure he will post here with an answer soon.

Just reiterating what Tim said above, this website is for Bill and Judy Hoover and not George. Different products, good people

Hi,
Well right now I don't have a web site, but I'll be putting one together soon. Until then look at these links and you will see some of what I make.
One other thing, I was the First to make tin ware using Hot Dipped Tin. And all of my tin that touches your mouth is made with Hot Dipped Tin and Lead Free Solder.
