What is it made of, hand carved and painted platinum? ;-)

Those prices are in US dollars, aren't they?

If so that's the most outrageous price I've ever seen for a Old Town
canoe, let alone for a display model!


This seems to be part of an antique/collectors auction. The prices are
insane. 11,500 USD for a pintail duck decoy is worse than the boat.

My bet is that the old town is 50+ years old and was sitting, unused, in
a shop window for most, or all, of its life. I still can't imagine
anyone spending that much money for the thing, but auctions like these
are for those who have more dollars (and space) than brains.
