Hello,
My father’s Old Town Canoe, a gift he received from his father on his 16th birthday or graduation sometime in the mid-1940s, just came out of long term storage. I fondly remember spending hours in the canoe during summers at my grandparents cottage on Green Lake in Wisconsin.
Can you tell me how I can get more detail on the place and date of manufacture, and where it was shipped to? We always wondered if it was new or used when it came to dad in Ripon, Wisconsin, and the specs. We plan to restore to its original beauty - though it’s amazing how good it looks given its age. We believe it may have been partially restored in the early 80s.
