Ted Shea Foxborough MA

Treewater

Wooden Canoes are in the Blood
I was about to cut down a sailing spar when I noticed a name. "Ted Shea Foxborough Mass." Did Old Town contract out their sail gear or did someone just add this later?
 
I suspect that it was added later. Old Town did not contract much out prior to the 1980s. See http://www.wcha.org/forums/index.php?threads/3408/ for a nice set of his leeboards. The page at https://woodencanoemuseum.org/taxonomy/term/73 shows some of his stamps. Two pages from their 1919 catalog are shown below. See http://www.wcha.org/store/historic-wood-canoe-and-boat-company-catalog-collection for more details.

Thanks Benson, both sticks measure 150.5". They are the longest poles I have. The mast is 8 ft. Can't remember where I got them. I cut down a shorter pole. A collector might want these. Different logo than what you post.
 
Sorry... I am late with this
