Old Town paint design #11

[hornbeam]

Does anyone have a blowup of Old Town paint design #11? I am building a wood/canvas canoe for my daughter's wedding present, she chose this design and color scheme. It would have been easier if she had just chosen plain red or green!!

You will have a challenge with this one. The design number 11 was shown in the catalogs from 1920 to 1923. I don't know of any original examples of this design that could be used as a guide. The printed examples in the scanned catalogs at http://store.wcha.org/The-Complete-Old-Town-Canoe-Company-Catalog-Collection-CD-ROM.html and the poster at http://store.wcha.org/Old-Town-Color-Designs-Poster.html are all fairly small. You will probably need to use your own creativity and review some other period designs like the ones at http://forums.wcha.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=2511&d=1168700132 to fill in the gaps. Good luck and please post some pictures of what you come up with.
