Beautiful Classic Wooden Canoe PaddlesIndian Head Brand #25. These are classic laminated wood canoe paddles. We've around a gross of them, and would like to see them go to good homes. There's some nostaliga built into these as, if Mr. Louis' memory serves right, these were originally purchased from the famous C.J. Hendry Company chandlery, once of San Francisco and San Pedro. Decor or Practical Use. These are suitable for practical light canoe paddling, or would make great decorative items. Note: These fine laminated wood items will not stand up to rough use. Paddles are approximately 29½ inches by 6¼ loom with 13 inch blade. (See picture.) Indian Head logo does not appear on paddle. Louis Equipment Price:
