    1892 J.H. Rushton Saranac Lake Guideboat
    This is an extremely rare guide-boat. It is one of only two known to exist showing a transition between Rushton's first and second design phases. It is commonly thought that he began experimenting with new designs for his Saranac Laker model in 1891. During 1892 and 1893 he eventually arrived at the final new design for this model that began full production in 1894.
    Estimate values are somewhere around ,000 if you could
    find another.
    Crating and Worldwide shipping available at additional costs.
    1888 saw Rushton’s entry into Adirondack Guide-boat production. This example of his craftsmanship has significant historical import as it represents the first round of technical improvements from his original efforts and began the widespread acceptance by both genuine guides and ‘sports’ for his boat output.
    It is a piece of art by all means, Brass oar anchors, ribs of sawn tamarack root and stump, planking and decks of northern white cedar, seats and seat cleats of black cherry, and gunwales of white ash.
    Asking only ,500 due to repairable damage as seen in pictures.
    Serious buyers only please.
