The Old Town canoe with serial number 162882 is a 16 foot long, CS (common sense or middle) grade, Yankee model with a keel. It was built between December, 1954 and May, 1955. The original exterior paint color was white. It shipped on May 20th, 1955 to Saginaw, Michigan. 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 as you probably know well. 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/shop to donate or join.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match the canoe.
