Old Town 139004 is a 13 foot CS grade ("Common Sense") fifty pound model canoe, built between December of 1943 and March of 1944. It has open spruce gunwales and ash decks/seat frames/thwarts, and was fitted with a keel and outside stems and a floor rack. It was painted dark green and shipped to Gregory Boat Co in Detroit, Michigan on May 5, 1944.
A letter to Old Town dated 11-24-82, from Stanley Webster of Fenton, MI, is documented on the back of the record.
I've attached scans of these records below. If this doesn't appear to be your canoe, we can try again. Scans of approximately 210,000 records were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. Additional information about the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/ot_records/ if you want more details.
