Please Note: Upon closer examination, we noted that this sample has open gunwales, not closed gunwales. In addition, it does not show design elements common to the Carleton Canoe Co. on the gunwales, so we cannot guarantee that it is a Carleton model. The Carleton Canoe Company was acquired by Old Town Canoe Company in 1910. Consequently we now believe that the vintage is the first quarter of the 20th Century. Finally, we noted evidence of small repairs on the hull of the canoe.

RED PAINTED WOOD & CANVAS CANOE; PROBABLY MADE BY CARLETON CANOE COMPANY.

Circa 1900-1910, Old Town, Maine. An accurately detailed model of a wood-framed and canvas-covered canoe; retaining the original red painted and varnished surface. The profile of this canoe, with medium rise to the bows and enclosed gunwales, predicts the early date. NOTE: Salesman’s sample canoes were given to sporting good stores with the purchase of railroad boxcars of full-size canoes. They hung in windows as trade stimulators, they were effective in advertising the product. SIZE: 35-1/2″ l. CONDITION: Very good original condition. 51174-2 (2,500-4,000) – Lot 2152

Auction: Fine Art, Asian & Antiques - Winter 2017
