The Old Town canoe with serial number 128275 is a 13 foot long, AA (or top) grade, fifty pound model with red Western cedar planking, open mahogany gunwales, mahogany decks, mahogany thwarts, mahogany seats, a keel, and a floor rack. It was built between November, 1939 and April, 1940. The original exterior canvas covering was painted dark green. It shipped on June 13th, 1940 to Waterbury, Connecticut. The back side of the card indicates that there was a previous request for this information from Monroe, Connecticut on February 19th, 1979. Scans showing both sides this build record can be found below.
These scans 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 the canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
