Hi Denis,
Your canoe is a 16 foot, CS grade (Common Sense or middle grade) Yankee Model with western cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, ash decks, seats and thwarts. It was equipped with a keel and painter ring. It was built in 1922, painted bright red and sold to a company in Albany, NY.
This scan and several hundred thousand others 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 http://www.wcha.org/about-the-wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA andhttp://store.wcha.org/WCHA-New-Membership.html to join.
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.
