Welcome, I've not been able to find any record of a Kennebec canoe with serial number 134606. They issued serial number 104025 in 1931 and the next one is 800000 in 1932. There are many large gaps is their serial number sequence. The link below shows the Old Town canoe with this serial number. Can you provide any pictures of the serial numbers from each end and the bow deck area? Thanks,

Benson

Sorry, canoe is in winter storage, difficult to get to, stored upside down and covered. It was purchased with a fiery red painted canvas, but no remnants of any painted design or name. I can send a photo of serial numbers when I can access it after spring returns.

Thank you for the research and information you provided. Wonderful to have WCHA and forum resource.
