Hi all! I was out today at this farm where I bought a boat at and as I was leaving the old farmer asked me if I was interested in a canoe,I dont know squat about canoes. So he showed me and told me the story about it.His wife dad got it for her in 1954 and she has had it ever since most of the time it was stored in a old barn.He aked me if I wanted it or if I could sell it for him.so here are a few pics of it.can anyone help me I.D. it and tell me what I should ask for it. it is in excellent shape but the canvas.I could not believe how good the wood is in! I just might keep it myself if it dont cost to much to recanvas it.I just bought a 19 ft. Cobalt from him.I guess the old farmer took a liking to me LOL thanks all for any info Chuck:)

Hi Chuck,

Welcome to the WCHA Forums!

Your canoe was built by the Shell Lake Boat Company, in Shell Lake, Wisconsin. More information about the company and their canoes can be found here: http://dragonflycanoe.com/id/index.html - click on the link on the left to Shell Lake.
