The Old Town canoe with serial number 130956 is a 17 foot long, CS (common sense or middle) grade, Otca model with open spruce gunwales, a keel, a floor rack, and a bang plate along the full length of the keel. It was built between August, 1940 and January, 1941. The original exterior paint design was similar to the one shown at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/designs/design37.gif which was known as their design number 37. It shipped on January 25th, 1941 to Fargo, North Dakota. A scan of this build record can be found 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/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will donate, join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See https://www.woodencanoe.org/about to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/shop to donate or renew.
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.
