The Carlton canoe with serial number 18404 is shown as 16 feet long, Standard grade, with western red cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, and birch decks, seats, and thwarts. The canoe was apparently finished on November 6, 1923 (the build record scan is unclear, but the shipping date and the dates on adjacent records indicated that 1923 is the correct year). The original exterior paint color was dark green. It was shipped to the Winchester Co. in New york City on February 26, 1924. 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.
Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
