Salesman Sample Canoe

Vintage Salesman Sample Canoe

This rare vintage salesman sample canoe is a beautifully made miniature — a precise scale model used to demonstrate full-sized canoes to buyers. Every element reflects the skill of traditional boat builders, down to the ribbing and hand-fitted seats.

The hull is a deep, dark green, with warm natural wood showing along the interior and gunwales. Two small wooden oars come with it, and a custom light wood stand is included for display. The oars can be crossed or laid flat  either way, it presents cleanly and with charm.

Measures 31.5 inches long. Ideal for a shelf, mantel, desk, or as a statement piece in any room with a love for boats, tools, or well-made objects. It’s a great piece of folk craftsmanship and a quiet nod to the era of traveling salesmen and sample cases.
