Thompson on Minneapolis Craigslist

[dumbquestionsguy]

Maybe you have seen this already, but there is a reported 1909 Thompson Indian on the Twin Cities Craigslist:

Seems perhaps a bit steep, but you know, from the limited pictures, nothing seems horribly misshapen or rotted. I'm fairly close so if there are any interested parties who want a completely unqualified assessment...

Looks like a Hiawatha to me. It has half ribs and stringers, Indian models (typically) didn't. The Hiawatha didn't come out until 1920 or 1921.

Yup, what Dave said.

It seems like I've seen a few other T's (and maybe Shell Lake's) with ID's like Parks, or USFS or etc stamped in them.
