Hello--
Carleton 13862 is an 18 foot AA (top) grade Indian Princess model canoe, with red Western cedar planking, open mahogany gunwales, 30 inch mahogany decks, mahogany thwarts and seat frames. It was fitted with a keel and has outside stems and a floor rack. It was painted "mahogany", with a 2 1/2" white stripe 2" below the gunwales with "2 D ends" (which I believe means "turned-down ends") and the name "Hloked" on the right and left bow (I could be wrong about that word). The canoe was shipped May 3, 1919 to The Fair in Chicago (which was a large department store you can Google).
I hope this is your canoe because it sounds really spectacular!
