Model: 1446, Serial number: 9798 My father bought this canoe sometime in the '60's and it was enjoyed each summer at our lake bungalow. It was always stored in a dry place off season and my father was always diligent in repairing it when needed. It has not been used for decades and has been stored under roof. Canvas and cane seating need work. It would make a nice restoration project with the end result being a beautiful wooden canoe.

Littleton, NH
Canoe is Champlain, Pleasure Model, probably vintage '50s.
Length: 16'
Beam: 33"
Depth: 12"
Partial serial # (possibly partially sanded off in refinishing).
Canoe was purchased from original owner - in December - in Port Elgin, ON, in the late '90s. It had been freshly re-canvassed and refinished - and stored indoors.
It went straight into my barn in New Hampshire. The new paint checked over the winter from extreme - minus 30° - temperature. It has not been in the water since I bought it.
It needs re-canvassing, filling and finishing.
Note: This was a family canoe. It is not a museum piece.
16' 1951 (est.) Peterborough Champlain Model, #1434
Stored indoors, this canoe is all original and is ready to paddle. Longer term, new canvas and a refinished interior would accomplish full restoration. Paddled single or tandem, this canoe handles beautifully.
The canoe is stored in Pittsburgh, PA.
Selling price is $400.
