The Old Town canoe with serial number 168124 is shown as a 16 feet long Otca model. The canoe was built in 1958, being railed on October 8. 1958. It was shipped to Traverse City, Mich on October 9, 1958, c/o Murray Boat Shop. An unusual notation indicates “no canvas, varnish or paint” rather than the usual indication of the original color. 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.

"unusual notation"! I gotta say that in all the time I have been reading the build record requests, that is the FIRST time I have seen that particular note!
