Deanna,
Old Town serial number 109385 17 belonged to a 17-foot AA (or top) grade OTCA model that was built in 1931 and shipped to Kingston, Pennsylvania. Like all AA quality Old Towns, it had mahogany decks, thwarts and seats, and it had open mahogany gunwales. It also came with a keel, outside stems, and a floor rack. The original color was the Old Town Design #23. I'll attach a copy of that design from the Old Town catalogs on CD that are available from the WCHA store.
The scan of this record is attached below-- click on it to get a larger image. 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 and anyone else reading this will join or renew membership in the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/join.php to renew.
If you are selling your canoe and plan to use this build record information as part of an ad, please consider giving the WCHA credit for this information on eBay or craigslist or wherever your canoe is listed.
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.
