The Old Town canoe with serial number 112733 is an 18 foot long, CS (common sense or middle) grade, square stern paddling model with red western cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, ash decks, ash thwarts, ash seats, a keel, outside stems, sponsons, and a painter ring. It was built between July, 1933 and February, 1934. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on May, 12th, 1934 to Old Town, Maine. The back side of this record shows that it came back for repairs in June, 1938 and was returned to Pea Cove, Maine. Scans showing both sides of this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail images 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 http://www.wcha.org/about-the-wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://store.wcha.org/WCHA-New-Membership.html to join.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
