Welcome and congratulations, the Old Town canoe with serial number 130815 is a 16 foot long, CS (common sense or middle) grade, Yankee model with open spruce gunwales, ash decks, ash thwarts, ash seats, a keel, and a painter ring. It was built between October, 1940 and March, 1941. The original exterior color was dark green and it shipped to Albany, New York on March 18th, 1941. A scan of this build record can be found below.
This scan and several hundred thousand more 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/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will donate, join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See https://www.woodencanoe.org/about to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/shop to donate or join.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match the canoe. See https://www.liveauctioneers.com/price-result/yankee-model-serial-number-130815-painter-ring/ for more about this canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
