Not much in today’s money but a mean amount back in 1938. You could buy an 18’ Guide canoe for $74.00. Boats, accessories, and“extras” you could order on their water craft.
It is a full line catalog containing their canoes. This auction is for one 1938 Old Town Canoe catalog. I have many other items that I will be listing. As well as selling off the inventory from a gun shop and canoe shop that closed years ago. I am downsizing and clearing the barn and attic of an accumulation of“stuff” I have gathered over the last forty years or so. Please leave feed back or send an email to let me know that the item has been received. I will send you an invoice with the combined shipping. I will try to combine shipping whenever possible so look at my other auctions. Shipping costs are rising and I will do what I can to minimize the cost as much.
Please look at the pictures and email me with any questions and I will try to answer them. Over the years I have had many sets of brass Old Town oar locks but this is the only set of steel ones I have ever come across. This set is in nice condition but has one flaw- somewhere along the line one of the bases was replaced with a painted brass one- I have had them sitting on a shelf for more years than I care to count and I never knew until I started to list them. The CS grade used Spruce for trim and steel for fittings. Old Town Canoe made their canoes and boats in two grades- the AA and the CS(Common Sense) The AA was trimmed in Mahogany and had brass fittings. This auction is for one pair of vintage Old Town Canoe oar locks for their“CS” grade canoes and boats.
