The Old Town canoe with serial number 162561 is shown as 15 feet long, CS (common sense or standard) grade, 50 pound model equipped with a keel. The canoe was built between October 1954 and January 1955. The original exterior paint is shown as Old Town Yellow. It was shipped to Flint, Michigan on March 1, 1955. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link behind the thumbnail images attached below.
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/about-the-wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://store.wcha.org/WCHA-New-Membership.html 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.
