Welcome, the Old Town canoe with serial number 205624 is a 16 foot long Chipewyan model that weighed 69 pounds. It was built in December, 1974. The original exterior color was yellow. It shipped on February 20th, 1975 to Fairmont, West Virginia. The back side of the card indicates that this canoe's warranty card was returned on April 10th, 1975 from Summersville, West Virginia. Scans showing both sides of this build record can be found by following the links at the attached thumbnail images below.
These scans 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 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 join.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your canoe. There should also be a Coast Guard hull identification number on the starboard stern. The page at http://www.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/hin.htm has more details about how to interpret these numbers. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
