My uncle gave me his Old Timer canoe serial number 179924-15 can I get the build data and year made. It has a real nice floor rack and the inside build is beautiful. Has had one repair that I can see and one cane seat is torn. Thanks. Capt. Hank
 
The Old Town canoe with serial number 179924 is a 15 foot long lightweight model with a keel and outside stems. It was built between January and February, 1968. The original exterior paint color was jade green. It shipped on February 29th, 1968 to Deer Harbor, Washington. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image below.

This scan and several hundred thousand more 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/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 possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description don't match your canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
