The Old Town with serial number 114627 is a 16 foot long, CS (common sense or middle) grade, double ended boat model with red western cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, oak decks, spruce thwarts, spruce seats, a keel, outside stems, and a floor rack. It was built between October, 1934 and March, 1935. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on June 10th, 1935(?) to Muncy Valley, Pennsylvania.
The Old Town with serial number 120360 is a 16 foot long, CS (common sense or middle) grade, Yankee model with open spruce gunwales, oak decks, oak thwarts, oak seats, and a keel. It was built between January and April, 1937. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on June 22nd, 1937 to Muncy Valley, Pennsylvania.
Scans showing these build records can be found by following the links at the thumbnail images attached below. These scans 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.
