Can you sell a handmade birch bark canoe 4ft 5 in. made by westcoast Indians in Victoria British Columbia Canada. It was built in 1953 and pictures are available?

Certainly they are sellable. They may not be a profitable enterprise because ot the labor intensive nature of the endeavor. Almost anything that is handbuilt begins as a labor of love and devotion to the project sometimes quickly exceeds the value that the marketplace is willing to absorb. Check out the market before you invest the cost of materials and six months of production to create the product. But in this case, it seems he only has one, and it was made in the 1950s. It's definitely salable, but if you live in the Pacific Northwest you'd be best off trying to find an auction house that specializes in Native American handcrafts; that would give you the best price.
