Hello Ed,
The boat with serial# 124017 is a 16' Double Ender in CS (Common Sense) Grade, with open spruce gunwales, ash decks and spruce seats. It's original color was dark green. It was shipped on July 26, 1938 to Ashland, NH. A copy of the build record is attached.
Scans of approximately 210,000 records were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. Additional information about the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. Please join WCHA or make a tax deductable contribution 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.html to join. If you are already a WCHA member, THANK YOU!
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.

Mike,
Many thanx for the speedy reply and the build sheet info. Its a bingo on our canoe! As it turns out from the "ship to" info on the build sheet, we are the second owners of this canoe. Nice history to have. Everything seems to be still the original wood on the decks, seats, rails as they are the same species as on the build sheet. color the same. Canvas still appears to be good although there are soooo many coats of paint on it that it is time to recanvas. Bet the boat will weigh 40 pounds less due to the multiple coats of paint.
