In an early 1970's Boston Whaler catalog there is a carved wood whale with a Boston Whaler logo on it. It caught my eye and I have been casually looking for one since, but have never come across one. Has anyone ever seen one of these in person, or perhaps own one?

1972 catalog, page 3.

No, I have never seen one other then in the catalogs.

I saw exactly what you describe a while back on ebay, probably over a year ago. I had no idea what vintage it was and I did not bid on it. I don't remember how much it sold for, I think less than $100.

On the last one that was on ebay I was a bidder, it sold for $ 380.

Missed another one this week @ $355.00

I missed another one at $ 380, I just cant make myself bid anymore, I think someone is making a reproduction, because its the same photo over and over in the ebay listing.

I watched that one, too. I just couldn't bring myself to pay that much for a piece of plastic.
