The Old Town Canoe with serial number 165229 is a 15 foot long, CS (Common Sense or middle) grade, fifty pound model canoe with a keel, the stern seat dropped below the gunwales, and the center thwart relocated. This was built between May and August, 1956. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on April 15th, 1957 to Columbus, Ohio. A scan showing the build record can be found below.
This scan and several hundred thousand more were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others as you probably know well. 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 donate, join, or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See https://www.woodencanoe.org/about to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/shop to donate, join, or renew.
It is possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match the canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions. Good luck,
Benson
