Speaking of sample models…

So, this one was a wreck…..the only way I could afford one!! Believed to be 1907 vintage…. Before and after.

Chris seems to be busy today so I will jump in. This is a four foot long model. The seller found Roger Young's web site with a google.com search. He was "looking for help to get it repaired/restored and valued." Roger shared the information with me and I contacted Chris for an estimate of the cost to fix it. The seller decided that he didn't want to get it repaired and accepted Chris's offer to buy it. I made a road trip to collect and ship it. This is a very impressive model. It will be the topic of a future article in Wooden Canoe. Chris can provide more details,

Thanks Benson for both the info, collecting, shipping, and directing the model to the appropriate restorer.

 

[Dave Wermuth]

Thank you Benson
