7. Please read the attachment "Martha Martha", and the attached Appraisal. They explain most of her information. The pic of her on the water was taken in July 2011 at the WCHA Assembly, stored and not on the water since. Like most of you, I have paddled many canoes, she is as sweet as it gets. She still adorns her original canvas for the last 118+ years. All original wood, not a bit of rot.my plan was to show her at the major boat shows but my circumstances have prevented it. She deserves to be enjoyed by many, and realizing I will never be able to do that, I am offering her for sale. She comes with her stand, Bag Lady Cover, period rowing seat, oar locks, oars, and period paddles.
8. She is in Remarkable Excellent condition.
TITLE: 16' Rushton Indian Girl 'Long deck'
PRICE: $3500
LOCATION: Honeoye Falls, NY 14472
CONDITION: Excellent Restored
DESCRIPTION:
Rushton Indian Girl, 16', #5213, circa 1915. From the pics you can see this IG has long decks, half ribs, and external stems. It is in Excellent Restored condition.
Restoration was completed in 2023. The canoe is mostly original except for: new seats, 1 new thwart, several replaced ribs, and long decks and coping (which are near exact copies of the originals). All exposed screws and bolts are brass just as they came from the factory.
The external stems are interesting as they are oval shaped in profile but with the inner & outer ends flattened to 3/8" to fit against the canoe's stem on the inner side and stem band on the outer side.
