The Old Town boat with serial number 131670 is 12 feet long, AA grade, Sportboat model with open mahogany gunwales, mahogany decks and seats, and equipped with a keel and a floor rack. The original exterior paint color was dark red. Construction was finished on March 17, 1941 and it was shipped on March 22, 1941 to Columbus, Ohio. In 1976, an inquiry about the boat was made by a David B. Cribb. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link behind the thumbnail images attached below.

This scan and several hundred thousand others were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. A description of the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/ot_records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/about-the-wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://store.wcha.org/WCHA-New-Membership.html to join.

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
