The Old Town with serial number 177812 is a 15 foot, Ojibway grade, Trapper model with a keel. It was built between March and April, 1967. The original fiberglass exterior was left clear to show the natural wood. It shipped on April 25th, 1967 to Salem, New Hampshire. 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 http://www.wcha.org/join.php to renew.
The wooden Ojibway model was never advertised in the catalogs. Please post some pictures if you can, especially of the decks since these occasionally had an unusual integrated hand hold.
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.
