Greg: I've checked my file either side of #125155 and the scans skip from 125154 to 125173 so that number I can not give you, maybe Benson or Mike can help us out. The other three canoes were all shipped to the Binghamton, NY area between 1935 and 1965.
The Old Town canoe with serial number 114902 is a 17 foot, CS grade (maybe GS grade) HW model with a keel and sponsons. It was built between November 1934 and March, 1935. The original exterior color was orange with a bright green hair line stripe. It shipped on April 24, 1935. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link at the thumbnail image attached below.

The Old Town canoe with serial number 174598 is a 17 foot, OTCA model with a keel. It was built with 2 3/4" planking with reference made to the inside gunwales being mahogany.

A scan of this build record can be found by following the link at the thumbnail image attached below.
These scans and several hundred thousand others 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/ot_records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See
http://www.wcha.org/wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your boat. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
