Welcome, the Old Town canoe with serial number 104597 is a 16 foot long, CS (common sense or middle) grade, Otca model with red western cedar planking, open oak gunwales, 16 inch decks, half ribs, a keel, outside stems, and bilge keels. It was built between January and April, 1930. The original exterior paint color was turkey red. It shipped on April 21st, 1930 to Ann Arbor, Michigan. A scan of this build record can be found below.
This scan and several hundred thousand more 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. See https://www.woodencanoe.org/about to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/pricing-plans/join to donate or join.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match the canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions. Good luck with the questions,
Benson
