Thanks for the replys. I went through my records of 133 Chestnut Canoe Company canoe serial numbers and found only 7 that were 4 digit. For what it is worth they were 15' Bobs S -# 8207, 15' Bobs S - # 1797, 14' Fox - # 4866, 15' Doe - 6492, 16' Prosp. - # 4558, 20' Olgivy - # 7885 and a 16' unknown model - # 9517 15EXL.
While on the topic it may also be worth noting that of a total of 135 Chestnut canoe records that I have only 2 canoes had no serial numbers, only 2 canoes had the letter C ahead of the number and about 15 serial numbers had 6 digits starting with 0. The balance were 5 digit serial numbers excepting a few minor variations. With all due respect my records seems differer a little from Dan Miller's Chestnut Canoe Company serial number information ????? I can post the numbers if would help anyone.
