Out of my price range:

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!

We've got an 1896 fully restored Old Town wooden canoe on display at the
shop I work at, the Alpine Shop in St Louis. I was told it was restored
by a guy who worked at the shop, and that someone once offered him
$30,000 for it, but he refused. Just heresay, mind you, but the shop
does have the 1896 canoe, and it's beautiful too!
