- Thread starter Rollon
- Start date
Welcome and congratulations, the Old Town with serial number 171430 is a 15 foot long fifty pound model with a keel. It was built between October and November, 1961. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on April 9th, 1963 to Inkster, Michigan. A scan showing this 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. 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 https://www.woodencanoe.org/about to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/shop to donate or join.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your canoe. Family canoe projects are always extra special. Please reply here if you have any other questions. Thanks,
Benson
