Canvas Wood Kayak ?

[Aboli]

I Was Given A Wood Canvas Kayak That Needs To Be Reworked.
It Has A Metal Plate That Says - Owner Built By From Materials Furnished By Mead Gliders -chicago-
Does Anyone Out There Know Any History Of This Craft And Or Possible Picts Of It Built . It Looks Very Old I Would Like To Restore. Any Help Would Be Great .
Thanks.
