Dan, unfortunately the canoe is sitting in the garage at my parents camp in Ontario. If its not hanging in the rafters im sure my dad could get me that info.

Could this be a Dart from 1927 to 1938????....dimensions were 16 X 32 X 12????....figure if anyone would know it would be Dick....looking forward to clarification....

Thise demensions sure sound close. waiting for my brother to get back from the jays game, he is going to measure it for us.

The Dart model is torpedo-stemmed canoe with high-peaked decks, the foredeck longer than the aft and with a built in locker. Can't see the decks in your photos, but the stem does not appear to have the torpedo profile.

Then could it be a Cruiser model:
Algonquin (1st Grade)
Huron (2nd Grade) 16 x 33 x 12

or even a low end Champlain 16 x 33 x 12

To identify your canoe and its age more information is needed; measure its length and beam, rib size and spacing. Pictures of the whole decks, seats, as well as an overall side view and top view of the canoe would also be helpful.

Not sure about the canoe but the truck it's setting on is a mid 80's Ford Ranger
