Need canoe ID help

[David Satter]

All I have is photos. The one here shows a good amount of construction details. The owner thinks 1940s from his memory. He can't find any numbers, plaques or decals.

I'm tempted to call it a Mullins, though I've not seen one with closed gunwales.

 

[Dave Osborn]

It looks like a tubular outer stem.
I think Dan is on the right track with Mullins.

I read through the 1922 Mullins catalog , and page 5 does say they only make open gunwales canoes. So now I'm not sure. I'll try and look a little more.

The closed gunwales on this canoe could be a later repair/conversion which may be hiding some damage that would be difficult to fix properly.

Yes I agree, the owner will be bringing it to me , but not till Sep. or Oct. So I'll be able to inspect it closer. I have a couple more photos so maybe the closed gunwale is original.
