    Researching an Old Town from VT

    Hi, this Old Town has been at our family camp in Vermont and I am looking for information about it! I know it was sold from Edgar Chiott and there are pictures of my grandmother in it when she was young- so we are thinking 1930s? Anyone know the model?

    Hi all -- We're in the process of re-covering (truth be told: has become a bit of a restoration as well) our "family" Old Town canoe. I remembered that 35+ years ago we'd called Old Town and they'd mailed us a copy of the 1927 (??) bill of sale. It's fun to learn that the internet has become...

    Benson, could you share a 1990 Old Town catalogue page? If I understand HIN correctly, this will be Johnson Outdoors (Old Town) build number 45847, January 9, 1990. It is a 15 foot Royalex Pathfinder. I'm a sucker for OT Royalex! If I include my Snapper kayak, this is the 12th one that has...

    I'm starting to think about restoring my grandfather's Old Town canoe... Serial number 81366 17. Can I get some information on it? This canoe has seen better days, but I am looking forward to learning about how to do this. I've restored cars and motorcycles, but this is my first wooden canoe.
