Hi Dave,
Carleton 20100 is a 17 foot regular grade Carleton model canoe with red Western cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, oak decks, oak thwarts, oak seat frames and a keel. Originally it was painted dark green. It was shipped to South Hero, VT, on June 18, 1931. A copy of the scan is attached below-- click on it for a larger image.
This scan and several hundred thousand others 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/wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/join.php to join.
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.

Thanks, Kathy, for your quick reply. That description does indeed fit my boat. My grandparents bought it for my dad and it lived most of its life at their summer place on Lake Champlain (South Hero,VT). I was mostly interested in when it was built so thanks again. She will float again! Dave.

Nice to get a family boat out onto the water again-- do you have old pictures? It's always fun to see old family photos of a canoe and then the new ones, taken after restoration.
