Yes, the Carleton canoe with serial number 18131 is a 17 foot long, CS (Common Sense or middle a.k.a. regular) grade, Carleton model with red western cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, birch decks, birch thwarts, birch seats, and a keel. It was built between April, 1923 and March, 1924. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on April, 7th, 1924 to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A scan of this build record can be found below.
This scan and several hundred thousand others 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 join.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.

Thank you Benson. Next month will be precisely 100 years since the shipment date to Philadelphia, and currently located in Virginia.
