Old - Old Town

[Cathance Gump]

Hello,

I'm looking for some thoughts or advice on, what I believe to be is, a rare antique. I grew up in Downeast Maine and my grandfather was a canoe builder. Since my family's passing, I now have 2 amazing canoes. The one I am in question about is a 101 yr old Old Town Octa from 1922. Around #72000 in production. It's in great condition for as old as it is but, I have no idea what type of value it would be. I'm looking for pictures of it, I should have some to post soon.

Thank you anyone for your feedback!

The information at the link below should answer your question. A key factor will be how badly it leaks. Good luck,
