Hi Ed--

You're right about it being a 50 pounder--

Old Town 165774 is a CS (common sense, or middle grade) 50 pound model canoe that was completed December 1956--> February 1957. It has a keel and was painted bright green. Wood species used for trim aren't specified on the record. It was shipped to Parkview Marine Supply in Haddonfield, NJ, on April 22, 1957.

The scan of this record is attached below-- click on it to get a larger image. 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 and anyone else reading this will join or renew membership in the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/join.php to renew.
