sorry!
Old Town 17308 is a 16 foot CS (common sense, or mid-grade) HW model canoe, finished from March to May of 1911. It has red Western cedar planking, closed spruce gunwales, ash decks, thwarts, and seat frames, and a keel. Original color was dark green, with a 4 inch letter "B" on the right and left bow. It was shipped with a floor rack and a slat-back (backrest) to Miss Nettie Bliss in Ballard Vale, MA, on May 16, 1911.
Post pictures. All may not be lost. Do you know about Fred's bookshelf canoe, "Bits n Pieces"?
