The Old Town canoe with serial number 113439 is a 15 foot long, CS (common sense or middle) grade, fifty pound model with red western cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, oak decks, oak thwarts, oak seats, and a keel. It was built between January and June, 1934 The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on July 7th, 1934 to Bridgton, Maine. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image below.
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 will join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/about-the-wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://store.wcha.org/WCHA-New-Membership.html to join.
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.

This canoe "lived" 10 miles, as the crow flies, from Lovewell Pond, where my Scout Master, "Doc" Smith, had his cabin where we stayed the night before and where we end our canoe trips down the Saco.

This canoe now "lives" in my garage.
Jim Nolan brought it down from Maine and we met at the Delaware River Chapter of WCHA's meeting where it swapped vehicles.
