I have discussed this with Dragonfly canoe and they agree with me that the canoe is a Chestnut Bobs special/Bantam grade 2 canoe. Does anyone no how to find the date of mfg or what I should look for that will assist in dating it? I am aware the decal dates it prior to 1974, so that puts it somewhere between 1918 and 1973.
thanks
