The Old Town canoe with serial number 154054 is an 18 foot long, CS (common sense or middle) grade, Guide model with white Maine cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, half ribs, and a keel. It was built between March and June, 1950. The original exterior paint color was G. S. (Guide's Special) green. It shipped on March 9th, 1951 to Alexandria, Virginia. The canoe was returned for repairs on April 18th, 1951 with a broken gunwale on the right side as shown on the back side of the card. It was resold and shipped to Esopus, New York on August 3rd, 1951. 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 others were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others as you probably know well. 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.

The Old Town canoe with serial number 154054 is an 18 foot long, CS (common sense or standard) grade Guide model with Maine cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, equipped with half ribs and a keel. It was built in 1950. The original exterior paint color was guide special green. It was shipped to Alexandria Virginia on March 9, 1951, but was returned on April 18, 1951 for repairs as shown on the back of the build record, to fix a broken right side gunwale. A new canoe was shipped to Alexandria to replace this one, and this one was apparently shipped after repairs to Esopus, New York. A scan of this build record and repair record on the reverse side can be found by following the link behind the thumbnail image attached below.
