Hello Owlsroost,
Your Canoe is a 16" AA Grade (top grade) guide model with keel and floorrack. It was painted Yale Blue with a white top. Name Chatelaine on left bow and Halcyon on right stern. It was constructed in 1954 -55 and sold to a man in Amsterdam, NY in Feb of 1955. It was returned to the factory in Mar of '55 with a broken rail and rib.
There was an inquiry about the canoe in Dec 1956 by a man from Auburn, ME
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.
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. Providing photographs would help with identification, as would an accurate measurement of the boat's
length.
