The Old Town canoe with serial number 59155 is a 17 foot long, CS (Common Sense or middle) grade, Charles River model with red western planking, open spruce gunwales, birch decks, birch thwarts, birch seats, and a keel. It was built between February and March, 1920. The original exterior paint color was dark red. It shipped on April 21st, 1920 to San Francisco, California. A scan showing this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image below.
This scan and several hundred thousand more 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 join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/about-wcha to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/store/membership to renew.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer this description doesn't match the canoe. Feel free to reply if you have any other questions.
