Hello all:
would apprec. any input to identify my old 18 ft OLD TOWN canoe. Thanks in advance.
R.Heath, New Castle, DE
 
The Old Town canoe with serial number 151636 is an 18 foot long, CS (Common Sense or middle) grade, Guide model with white Maine cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, half ribs, a keel, outside stems, and bilge keels. It was built between December, 1948 and March, 1949. The original exterior paint color was white enamel. It shipped on March 31st, 1949 to Madison, Wisconsin. A scan showing this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image below.

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 and http://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,

Benson
