The Old Town canoe with serial number 164349 is a 16 foot long, CS (Common Sense or middle) grade, Guide model with a keel. It was built between November, 1955 and January, 1956. The original exterior paint color was G. S. (Guide's Special) green. It shipped on February 21st, 1956 to Coshocton, Ohio. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image 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

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description don't match your canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions. Does that fit? Thanks,
Benson
