Peterborough Model 70 Serial 7709 Cedar Board

Hi folks; Re starting an old discussion; since I have retired
Have a 16 ft. Open Peterborough " Flush Batten " canoe with solid Aluminum cutter stems, ( Bow and stern ) Three Original thwarts, 2 of which are adjustable. Has original stern deck and although bow deck is not present the parts are available for templates. One original kneeling board present . It is three boards to a side. Plan to restore it.
1. Looking to try to be more specific on date than 1920 plus or minis 15? years. I see old listings from a catalogue from 1929 and another from the "Ontario Canoe Company ' from 1892 but it is the same number but Basswood and does not mention the cast Aluminum stems

2.Looking for pictures of the support brackets for the bow deck, and the coaming surround for the bow deck
3 any ideas on the 2 notched
4. see attached pictures more to follow

 

I have one page of an old photocopy of a catalogue which says 1929 ( in pencil) page 15 mentions price as $98 decks and thwarts $4 each , Adjustable thwarts $3 each, and aluminum stems $5 each . I think it was sent to me in the early 19 90s by Gerry Stephenson. So this would have been a special order. From a friends visit at the Peterborough Museum he saw some similar but none with the solid Aluminum cutters.
we put the canoe on a scale this weekend it was 38 LBs so when restored I would think less than 44 lbs.

 

Still looking for photos and description of the way the front deck was supported and the coaming ( ? spell ) details. for this style Peterborough racing canoe Not sure if there was a rear deck coaming as well.
