The Old Town canoe with serial number 145402 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 May and July, 1946. The original exterior paint color was fire red. It was shipped on July 29th, 1946 to the Ticonderoga, New York. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image below.
