Welcome, the Old Town with serial number 187924 is a 15 foot long Trapper model with a keel. It was built in December, 1971. The original fiberglass exterior was clear to show the natural wood. It shipped on February 18th, 1972 to Champaign, Illinois. A scan showing this build record can be found by following the link at the thumbnail image attached 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/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 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. Happy paddling,
Benson

Canoes don't have standard valuations like cars. See http://www.wcha.org/forums/index.php?threads/57/ for a good summary of the valuation options. This model may still available today from Island Falls at https://www.islandfallscanoe.com/inventory/category/1850 so they might be able to provide a replacement cost estimate. Good luck,
Benson
