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

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

Cannot see any numbers just the 6 brass name plates.Best I can do tonight. I can take some measurements tomorrow. Does your canoe have a number, under the thwarts, for instance?

I am familiar with metal spinning but not sure that would be the method.Its the french words , so find a turner for that and ask if is it possible but he must need the template form , or a turner who can made it from solid brass as say Michael , or the template for the other turner
old curtain bras ring is also a possibility
