It could be a fake, as they did not have plastic water bottles until early 1866

Obviously a Union prototype.

The cell phone, car and clothing is period yes, but that water bottle is still suspicious. My book on ACW water bottles lists that type from late Jan 1866 - saying it could be a prototype is stretching it.

Is it possible that Grant didn't really surrender until 1866?

The Big Book of Civil War Facts states that General Grant surrendered at Petersburg ?
