Such an offer is primarily of interest to those who find themselves up the creek without a paddle.

I saw that. I don't think I ever subscribed but tried to sign in anyway just for giggles. It turns out I have an account for some reason so I suppose I automatically qualify?For the most part experience is making the same mistakes over and over again, only with greater confidence.Comment

Re: Anyone notice? You could win a pair of oars via our sister publication.
My guess is that the Brunswick Corporation may claim that title with an 1845 start date as described at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunswick_Corporation although they don't appear to have entered the marine business until 1961. The information at https://www.perko.com/perko_story/ indicates that Perko started in the early 1900s. See https://www.wcha.org/forums/index.php?threads/16294/ for more details about the various founding dates of the organizations the preceded Shaw & Tenney, along with a variety of other old canoe and boat builders. Questions like this seem simple but quickly get complicated,

Re: Anyone notice? You could win a pair of oars via our sister publication.
The information at https://research.mysticseaport.org/coll/coll231/ indicates that Wilcox-Crittenden was sold to Gulf + Western in 1971. The page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_a...ern_Industries indicates that Gulf + Western became defunct in 1989. Therefore, it appears that the answer to your question is no.

Were the oars awarded to some lucky subscriber yet?♦ During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act
