Thank you Benson,
As expected WRT the Carleton....and yes, the length sure would help. That said, my hunch is that it's either a Carleton or possibly a Charles River boat BUT not an Old Town.
I believe that you just confirmed it by providing the ship to locations. Most of these old boats don't end up too far from where they were originally shipped. The one in question is in New York state. Although the seller thinks it's an Old Town, isn't that so often the case? An old wooden canoe almost always gets labeled as an Old Town unless the label says otherwise, and even then.
