I just received this from the barn of the original owner's estate. I realise it is too important a piece of craft history for me to maintain. I'm looking for guidance as to where I can find some guidance as to it's future. It's always been kept indoors and I have no provision to do so. This is in amazing condition with original oars also.

That ad is really a piece of work. Oh baby. It is making me long for my twin holsters and pearl handled cap gun revolvers, a bowl of shredded wheat and the Lone Ranger on the radio.

I would suggest a listing in the WCHA classifieds. The link below explains the process. The demand for these seems limited. Good luck with the sale,

Shredded wheat omg thats hilarious, or maybe buy a shopsmith or foley sharpening machine for big profits


 
Possibly a museum? Anyone have thoughts about that?

I suspect that it would take longer to find a museum that wanted it than it would take to find an individual who did. Most museums (and other non-profit organizations like the WCHA) would simply sell it since they need the money.
