260260590793 is the item-number for a canoe of unknown maker... will attach pictures here as well.

Interesting that it has rush seats. I'm wondering if they wouldn't get too bulky if they got wet... originally, rush seats were made using cattail leaves. These look like kraft paper.

Nice thwart.

Anybody know what it is?

The canoe is a Shell Lake. The seats, guess someone didn't want to re-cane them?

Rush seats seem like a bad idea... except they did confuse me to the point that I didn't recognize that carry-thwart-- we have a Shell Lake stashed in a friend's garage... not exactly an intact canoe, but I've handled that little carry-thwart.
