173808

The Old Town with serial number 173808 is a 15 foot long fifty pound model with thwarts in place of seats and a keel. It was built between March and November, 1964. The original exterior paint color was red. It shipped on November 27th, 1964 to Johnson City, Tennessee. 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 more 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. Please reply here if you have any other questions.
