I own what I believe to be a Daniel Herald's 16' patented double layered cedar board canoe. I acquired this from the original owners great grandson who still resides in Bracebridge Ont. The canoe spent its whole life at a cottage on Muskoka Lake in northern Ontario. It was in dry storage for over 60 years and is still in the same condition I found it in. The great grandson had intentions of restoring it some day but is now retired and lost interest. The original canvas has long gone and it has had some paint added over time. There are thousands of original nails. The original grey paint is still inside. The original makers stamp reads D HERALD BUILDER GORES LANDING RICE LAKE ONT CANADA PATENTED DEC. 16 1871. Im not sure when this one was actually made. I have had some interest in people wanting to purchase it but have never been able to find out whether this is a valuable canoe or anyone who has sold one in the past. I have searched for information and photos on this style but there is not to much available. Although it does need some work some have said leave it as found and others have said have it restored. If anyone has any information reguarding this canoe please let me know. Thank You
