Ot Sr No 165853

Sure, the Old Town canoe with serial number 165853 is an 18 foot long, AA (or top) grade, Otca model with half ribs, a keel, and a floor rack. It was built in January, 1957. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It was shipped on January 30th, 1957 to Salinas, California. A scan of this build record and a picture of the serial number from the recent eBay listing at https://www.ebay.com/itm/332604239632 can be found by following the links at the attached thumbnail images 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/catalogs/old-town/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-wcha to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/store/membership to renew.
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.
