Hi Mike,
Old Town 90747 is an 18 foot AA (top) grade Charles River model canoe finished from April 27 to June 11, 1926. It has red Western cedar planking, open mahogany gunwales, and mahogany decks, thwarts, and seat frames. It was fitted with a keel and floor rack and originally was painted dark green. It was shipped to Abercrombie and Fitch in NYC on June 17, 1926. There was an inquiry about this canoe from West Winfield, NY, on February 18, 1980.
The scans of this record are attached below-- click on them 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.
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.
