Hello all, any chance someone might have info on my '26 Sponson which I believe is number 91857? It was delivered to EH Smith of Bridgeton Maine and I'm curious what else I can learn about her. Thanks very much.

Welcome, the Old Town with serial number 91857 is a 16 foot long, AA (or top) grade, square stern model with red western cedar planking, open mahogany gunwales, mahogany decks, mahogany thwarts, mahogany seats, a keel, outside stems, a floor rack, and sponsons. It was built between July, 1926 and January, 1927. The original exterior paint color was maroon. It shipped on June, 20th, 1927 to Bridgton, Maine. A scan showing this build record can be found below.

Thank you Benson, I very much appreciate such a fast response. I have the same sheet but not until today did I find what I hoped was a hull number. Thank you for bringing this full circle. The boat is in fine shape and is a cherished possession 
for sure. Thank you again.
