Benson, you were correct with your guess at the serial number. I took picture of serial number from other direction and you can see the one. Also the person that I got the sled from got it from someone in Absecon, about 15 miles from where I live.I didn't mention that I have the complete canoe, sail, sideboards, Runner and all the hardware. It is the biggest canoe that I've ever seen. So once I extend my shed about 5 feet I'm going to begin to work on it but I'm not sure where to start. The canvas doesn't seem to have any issues so I thought I would carefully sand it down to the original color and go from there. It has no broken or cracked ribs interior is in very good condition. I was just wondering if this is a fairly rare canoe because my post wasn't up long and somebody offered to buy it from me. Once I get started I will post my progress.
Thank you very much for your help, Ed
