Original Antique Century Magazine Print Ad ~ May,1887

BOWDISH & CO. - Skaneateles, N.Y.

Builders of FINE CANOES, ROW-BOATS, and Small Steam Launches.

FABULOUS little piece of vintage Victorian era ephemera!

Thanks to Google AI for these FUN FACTS: "Bowdish Canoe was a company formed in 1876 that built steam launches, rowboats, and canoes, especially popular sailing canoes. In 1893, Bowdish sold the company, which was renamed the Skaneateles Boat and Canoe Company. The original company, founded by Nelson Bowdish, was a successful early boat builder that expanded into a large facility in Skaneateles, NY, to increase production."

EXCELLENT condition for being OVER 100 years old!!

SHIPPING NOTES: FAST shipping is always a TOP PRIORITY!  Upon receiving your cleared payment purchases are carefully packaged up and shipped out within 24-48 hours.  If for some reason there is a delay, I will email you.  Our PO is closed on the weekends, so items paid for on Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday are usually shipped out the following Monday (unless I happen to catch our mail lady beforehand). On MOST items I am also happy to combine shipping (also noted under the shipping&payments tab).
