Welcome and congratulations, the Old Town canoe with serial number 149761 is an 18 foot long, CS (Common Sense or middle) grade, HW model with open spruce gunwales, a keel, a floor rack, a mast seat, a mast step, and a rudder. It was built between October, 1947 and April, 1948. The original exterior paint color was bright red. It shipped on April 22nd, 1948 to Chicago, Illinois. A scan showing 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. 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 http://www.wcha.org/about-wcha to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/pricing-plans/join to donate or join.
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.
