Hello Pete, and welcome to WCHA.
137737 appears on an 18' Guide in GS (guide special - ie-no frills) trim. It had open spruce gunwales, ash seats, decks and thwarts and a keel. The original color was GS Green. It was shipped in October of 1943 to Rockford, IL. A copy of the build record is attached.
Scans of approximately 210,000 records were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. Additional information about the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. Please join WCHA or make a tax deductable contribution so that services like this can continue.
