old town sn 130840 15' build docs please

The Old Town canoe with serial number 130840 is an 15 foot long, AA (or top) grade, fifty pound model with open mahogany gunwales, mahogany decks, mahogany thwarts, a keel, a floor rack, a painter ring, and a bang plate along the full length of the keel. It was built between October 1940 and April, 1941. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on July 7th, 1941 to Saint Paul, Minn. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image 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.
