17 Foot Thompson Hiawatha Canoe One Owner Since 1939

17 Foot Thompson Hiawatha model canoe (smooth floor, Indian style bow and stern). Made early 1930's (one owner since 1936). Most of its life, including since 1977, hanging in garage. Original canvas intact, seats need recanting, varnish needs some renewing. Original paddles included.

Painted red as in "Beautiful Ohio" where the owner first used it as a boy "drifting with the current down a moonlit stream", including night of the full moon every month for a year 1938-1939 on the Ohio. I am listing the canoe for a close friend of mine who lives on Lake Minnetonka in Excelsior, Minnesota. For interested buyers the canoe may be seen at his home. The canoe is available only for local pickup. He is willing to accept reasonable offers but believes the Fixed Price represents the value of this eighty year old canoe in such good condition - most vintage Thompson canoes require extensive restoration.
