The Old Town canoe with serial number 126926 is a 17 foot long, AA grade, Otca model with open mahogany gunwales, mahogany decks, mahogany trim, a keel,outside stems, a floor rack and rub rails. It was built between March, 1939 and March, 1940. The original exterior paint color was similar to the image shown at
http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/designs/design45.gif which was known as design number 45. It was shipped on April 19th, 1940 to Paterson, New Jersey. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image below.
This scan was 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

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.
