Welcome, the Old Town canoe with serial number 129433 is a 16 foot long, AA (or top) grade, Otca model with open mahogany gunwales, a keel, outside stems, and a floor rack. It was built between February, 1940 and June, 1941. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on August 22nd 1941 to Camden, Maine A scan of 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. 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.

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer this description doesn't match the canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.

Thank you Benson. Rexford Daniels was my wife’s grandfather, so this canoe has been in the family for 85 years. It has now been transferred to us where it will remain in the family for many more years.
