Welcome and congratulations, the Old Town canoe with serial number 111075 is an 18 foot long, CS (Common Sense or middle) grade, Guide model with red western cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, oak decks, oak thwarts, oak seats, and a keel. It was built between January, 1932 and March, 1933. The original exterior paint color was G. S. (Guide's Special) green. It shipped on March 20th, 1933 to St. Paul, Minnesota. A scan of this build record can be found below.
This scan and several hundred thousand more 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 https://www.woodencanoe.org/about to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/shop to donate or join.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match the canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions. Enjoy it,
Benson
