Rice Lake Canoe

Andre Cloutier

Firestarter. Wicked Firestarter.
Collected today, only needs new canvas, caning and varnish. Bought from
78yr old son of original owner who bought new in 1919. Lived under the cottage until last week, best of all no tip or deck rot:rolleyes:

Chris, I need to change the sand in the blasting cabinet to glass beads. That aluminum is gonna shine....
 
Hi Steve,
I understand from Dick P that these were produced from 1919, the year RLC company move to Cobourg, Ontario until approx the mid-20's.
This one showed up a while ago, seems a little rougher

might drag it to assembly, not sure yet.
Put the 100mph tape on it to keep the small tears of canvas from tearing and flapping on the hightway, they make some neat colours now:D
 
Plunder

Arrrrrghhhh, he, Cloutier, is a despicable pirate, even venturing forth occasionally into the territory of the much feared Norumbegas!! :eek:

:D
 
Avast ye mateys, I've "chummed" the waters of Norumbega territory, just ask the feared Lapey. Bring the Grog and I'll bring the shiny bowed boat.:cool:
 
Quiet, Appleknocker. Where's the pictures of the fish-eyed White? Looking forward to seeing it..
Eat your heart out, original carpeted sling seat made by the furniture company that bought and moved the canoe company I'm told.. Carpet is holed, but not a big deal. Oh and a near mint 9' spoon blade, brass tipped Peterborough double paddle with nice nickeled ferrule.
Ya know, you're right - I do suck!:eek:
