The Old Town canoe with serial number 30968 is shown as a 17 foot long AA (top) grade Ideal model with open mahogany gunwales, mahogany decks, thwarts and seats, fitted with half ribs, outside stems, and a keel. The canoe will have its hundredth birthday next year, having been built in 1914. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It was shipped to Allentown, Penn. May 17, 1914. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link behind the thumbnail image attached 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.
