Hi Tom,
I have finally managed to get my carrier canvas out and photographed. Unfortunately having done so I now do not believe that it is an original. It is 15' x 20' but as can be seen in the pictures the only printing on it is wrapped around the edge of the sheet which suggests to me that although the WD broad arrow is visible (UK not Canadian) I cannot find any date and now think that this was in fact made out of a larger canvas cut down or smaller ones sewn together. There are eyelets in each corner and then 2 more evenly spaced along each short edge and 3 along each long edge. Even though probably not 'correct' it does the job.

and the last 3 pictures. If nothing else this may prompt further discussion!

That's great, thanks Mike.
That should be more than enough to get one made. I can't tell from the pictures, what colour is the canvas, is it green or brown? Would an original not have been made from several panels, as they would have been limited by the size of canvas on the roll. Even my Jeep canvas is made from several pieces, and that is much smaller. |
