Does anyone have the NKCA Founder set in their collection ? If so what serial number , I have 0167 and 1413 . I see alot of these on Ebay that have been broken up to try and make more money. I think this set was not meant to be broken up and it is sad to see it happen.

I know the 2000 NKCA President's set of 5 big 2 blade canoes with amber stag bone handles have the names of the first 5 NKCA presidents, but there are no faces on the blades. These also are serialized, and are often broken up and sold separately on Ebay, which should be a crime. The odds of a collector ever getting the set back together once it has been broken up and sold to different people is nearly impossible.
The same goes for the Founders Set which you are mentioning. I can't imagine why anyone would want to split up a set of matching serial #'s.
Here is a picture of the President's Set.

That's understandable. Thanks for letting me know. I am currently in the middle of adding all the NKCA magazines from 1977 - 1997 to my website (covers only). I have started collecting them now, after my grandfather gave me about 60 that he had in his basement.
