Welcome, the Old Town canoe with hull identification number XTC95523M74G and serial number 195523 is a 17 foot long Chipewyan Tripper model that weighed 73 pounds. It was built in May, 1973. The original exterior color was red. It shipped on March 8th, 1974 to Washington D. C. 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. Page seven of the 1974 catalog at https://www.woodencanoe.org/_files/ugd/537308_eac900d33e734c818dc9cfccef5a5620.pdf has more details. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.

Sir, you are awesome! Thanks very much for researching this info and posting. She's in pretty good shape for being 50+ years old with only some minor restoration needed!
