Try the Wooden Canoe Historical Association at WCHA.org.

How old do you think it is ? Any pics ?

Nat Hammond (www.vmsl.com) has two Armstrong & Galbraith catalogs listed, one from 1930, the other from 1936. It is listed in the Marine Equipment section, so it may be that they were a dealer, not a builder.
