I am now responsible for the care and feeding of a solid wood Old Town

I, for one, would love to see a pic of your canoe if at all possible. I have
never seen one in person that old, and would love to see what the Old Town
line looked like back then. The only all wood canoes I've had a chance to
see were new ones, that, to me at least, looked like "collector's items" that
were never meant to touch water.

If I remember, the next time I am digging through those types of
pictures, I'll scan a picture and post a pointer. If you just wish to
see an Old Town of the period, Google would likely be a whole lot faster
and likely show more of the canoe. Any pictures I'd have, IIRC, are
pictures in which the canoe happens to be, not pictures of the canoe
itself.
