Hi,
My husband has an H.E. Crandell canvas canoe that is very old. We need to remove it from it's current location.
Is there a market for this type of item?
It could be used as a decorative item or be the start of a restoration project.
Any information would be appreciated.
We are located in MA, south of Worcester.
Thanks
Cathy

Welcome and yes, there is a market for an old canoe from H. E. Crandell. The information at https://www.wcha.org/forums/index.php?threads/57/ may help you value it. I would encourage you to list it at https://www.woodencanoe.org/classifieds since this is usually the fastest way to find a good new home for it. See https://www.woodencanoe.org/ad-instructions for details about how to create a listing. Good luck with the sale,

Benson

Cathy,
Attached is a link to a thread that has a lot of info about Crandell and his canoes. You may find it of interest. All of us would love to see a couple pictures of your canoe.
Best regards,
Jim C.

Cathy,
There was also an article about a Crandell canoe and Crandell history in the April 2007 issue of Wooden Canoe. Back issues are available from the WCHA Store.
