Canoe ID Courting Canoe?

[jlarrabee]

Hello folks,
I just picked up this old girl from my local historical society boat shop. It is in remarkable shape. I need help identifying it. The brass tag is missing from the deck "lip". I will comment measurements as soon as I have them.

Any Ideas? The guy I bought it from thought it was 1930s... Brass Tacs, Flathead Screws. Mahogany. Seat under the rear deck. I know ive seen some of these canoes, I just don't remember who made it.

Very neat and tidy sheeting work

It looks like a Charles River Area builder. Check the thwarts for a Robertson stamp. See http://dragonflycanoe.com/wood-canoe-identification-guide/features-builders-plates-and-decals/ for an example.
