LOVES Wooden Canoes
Just picked it up yesterday, any help on it's id/history would be appreciated.
Thanks, Robin
 
Robin: The Old Town canoe with serial number 139451 is a 16 foot long, CS grade OTCA model with a keel. It was built between March and May, 1944. The original exterior canvas covering was dark green. It shipped on June 30, 1944 to Apalachin, New York. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link behind 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/wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/join.php 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.
