The Old Town canoe with serial number 124680 is a 16 feet long, AA (top or premium) grade Yankee model with mahogany open gunwales, mahogany decks, thwart, and seats, and equipped with a floor rack and a keel. The canoe was built between March 1938 and January 1939. The original exterior paint was dark green. It was shipped to Elkhart (?), Indiana on May 25, 1940. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link behind the thumbnail images attached below.
[again, my computer and the server are at odds -- someone else will have to post the copy of the build record]
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

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.
