The Old Town with serial number 158588 is a 16 foot long, CS (Common Sense) grade, Square Stern model with open spruce gunwales, a keel, outside stems, a floor rack, and sponsons. It was built between October, 1952 and October, 1953. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on May 27th, 1954 to Old Town, Maine. A scan showing this build record can be found below.
This scan 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/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will donate, join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See https://www.woodencanoe.org/about to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/shop to donate or join.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
