I was asked to get information on this bracket. The owner thought it was a WWII water can bracket but all the water cans I can locate were the normal "jerry can" style but with a "W" instead of a "G" stamped in them. Could this have been to hold one of the collapsable water buckets?

It is for a water can, just not the 5 gallon "jerry" style cans.

The guesses regarding it being for an "Igloo" are very close. Imagine the same type of water cooler, but being made of galvanized steel instead of orange plastic. I've seen pictures of them used with telephone line trucks and similar.
