The serial number 14338 is shown on page 231 of volume two in the Kennebec ledgers. This was assigned to 17 foot long Torpedo model type A. It was planked by Mansell on June 26th, 1920. Roy canvased it and applied the first filler coat on June 19th, 1920. (One of these dates is probably an error since the canvas usually goes on after the planking.) Thibadeau applied the second filler coat on March 6th, 1921. Stone added the rails on March 12th, 1921. The rest of the line is blank so it is not clear who finished it, when, the color, or the original shipping destination.
The scans of this build record can be found by following the links at the attached thumbnail images below. It was too large for a single file attachment here so I had to split it down the middle. These original Kennebec records are reproduced through the courtesy of the Maine State Museum.
The microfilms and scans of these records were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) as you probably know well. I hope that you will renew your membership or contribute to 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.
More information about this and other Kennebec models can be found in the Kennebec catalogs contained on the Historic Wood Canoe and Boat Company Catalog Collection CDs available from http://www.wcha.org/catalog/ and http://www.dragonflycanoe.com/cdrom.htm on the web.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match the canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
