The Old Town boat with serial number 154996 is a 15 foot long, CS (Common Sense or middle) grade, round bottom boat model. It was built between October and November, 1950. The original exterior paint color was gray with green below the water line. It was shipped on December 27th, 1950 to Portland, Maine. 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/catalogs/old-town/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 or join.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match. The catalog page describing this boat is available at https://www.wcha.org/forums/index.php?attachments/8041/ from 1956. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
