The Old Town canoe with serial number 164468 is a 15 foot long, CS (common sense or standard) grade fifty pound model equipped with a keel. It was built between December 1955 and February 1966. The original exterior paint color was bright red . It was shipped to Nashua, New Hampshire on May 16, 1956. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link behind the thumbnail image attached 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. The E WENCIS stamped on each end seems likely to be the name of a previous owner.
