What kind of canoe have I found ?

At 42 pounds, I’m guessing that it has varnish on the hull and was a display.
The arrowhead decks are reminiscent of a St Louis Canoe, but I don’t think it is. It would have serial numbers stamped in the stems if it was built by St Louis traceable to a build year.
As it is, it won’t float. You will need to stretch canvas over the hull, apply filler and paint to make it serviceable.
 
Thanks so much for your advice. I will look into canvassing it. It will be a real adventure getting it water ready.
