Found these in an old cigar box in my father-in-laws attic! He said they were from the farm and his father found them when it was a potato farm. He told me to keep them but I said no, I`m going to frame them for you.
So I made a frame from the old maple boards I salvaged from his grainery that we tore down. He passed away a year and a half ago so My mother-in-law gave them to me. I still have half a box of damaged pieces. Thanks for looking! Rob

I am more than jealous of this gift, such an amazing collection here. All you have left is to document its story on the back as that is most important.
Some real nice pieces. From Ohio ?

Thanks Watchsearcher! The canoes don`t have much of a story, one is from an auction and the other is from a flea market, I have always wanted an old wooden canoe and these are as close as I`ll ever come. I also like any wooden souvenir pieces and these fit in! :-) Thanks again!!
Looks good Bobby is the farm still in the family maybe do a little surface hunting
Thanks OLECODY! The land belongs to my father-in-law`s sister, I have surface hunted it with little luck. They don`t plow like they used to here anymore and a lot of it is government land now. (taken because a dam was supposed to flood the area and never did-but they kept the land anyway.)
Thanks Vynil33rpm for the love it!
I second please please document where these were found and that they were surface / plow finds. Although gorgeous creations, their value is far greater as pages in a book that tells our history than as objets de artes. Your local archaeological society would probably be more than happy to help you ID them
Thank you themuse for the comment! As I told Watchsearcher, these are documented. I have been surface hunting for nearly 55 yrs. and all of my finds are numbered in an index book with type, year and location.
You are a good collector Bobby nice little land grab by our government
