Strickland Canoe

[Paul G]

Hi All

I have recently required a Strickland strip canoe but the brass plate for the flag hole is missing any thoughts as to there I can source one from.

Any pics of the boat and decks, Paul ? How do you know it had a brass plate ? Does it have the floor board(s) ? Are there Strickland plates at the thwarts ? Dave

I once used a brass tank connector to solve a flag socket problem. It will depend on what size you want and how authentic you want to be. I thought it was better than leaving a ragged hole.

I want it to be as authentic as possible Sam.It currently has a decorative wooden piece attached covering the flag hole.

It has the name plates on the side.If I cannot source an original plate any images and size would be helpful to be able to get one made.

Best I can do tonight. I can take some measurements tomorrow. Does your canoe have a number, under the thwarts, for instance?

I've always thought these mast rings were plumbing fittings from way back when, likely used where pipes passed through walls. I've looked and looked but haven't found a source today, so long ago I had a few turned from solid brass for my needs.
