As a fun distraction, I routinely search through Kijiji Ads for vintage canoes to pass the time. Yesterday, I came across an ad for a "1926 Canoe" where the owner is seeking an estimate of its value. Right away I knew that this canoe didn't date to 1926, not because I'm an expert at dating these things, but because the pic is my own boat that I acquired as part of trade last year.
