Details of canoe collars
A question was asked about the details for the last two issue canoe collars. Here is another image of the last pattern collar (bottom image) and the pattern struck from the Northern Pioneer dies (top image).
The differences are visible. Note the differences in the shape and details of the wolf's head, (openness of mouth, shape of the head, details of the ears, and the fur on the neck), the details of the canoe, in particular the keel details, and the width of the canoe in the middle (across the gunnels). The overall size, width and height are nearly identical. |
