Yesterday while yard saleing, this old trolling motor caught my eye, so i paid $5 for it. It looked like it had been sitting on the ground in someones barn for years and I kinda figured it wouldnt run. Got it home, blew it of, and it worked perfectly! It has a brass name tag that says PIONEER - Middlebury, Indiana. It seems that this may have been a minn kota motor but form some reason branded pioneer. I have not found whole lot of information for this guy. Im kinda thinking its from the 40s-50s? Anyone know for sure??? They seem to be going for $125-250 range on Cl and ebay. Am I about right on this as well? Im not sure what I want to do with this thing yet, though it would look great on my aluminum canoe!
