Looking to identify a canoe

[Peter Ostlind]

I'm like some assistance in identifying this canoe. I did not find any manufacturer markings or a serial number. The overall dimensions are 16.5' x 3' x 12.5".
Thanks in advance for any insights.

This looks like an Old Town canoe. Some of the tricks in the link below may help you find the serial numbers. Good luck,

Thread 'How do I find a serial number on an old wooden canoe or boat?'

Many old wooden canoes and boats have a serial number on both inside stems and a decal or tag with the manufacturer's logo on the bow deck. The number is usually stamped on the top of the lower part of the stems. The inside stems are the long curved pieces of wood that form the ends of the canoe. You want to look on the part that extends out from under the decks on the bottom of the floor inside the hull. The serial numbers are stamped in each end of the canoe so check both if a single digit is not clear. These numbers in the stern of boats are occasionally on the edge of the center...

Benson,

Thanks for your quick response. I had some thoughts it might be an Old Town but couldn't put enough details together to be sure. I looked for the serial numbers in the locations you noted some time ago but did not find anything. I'll check again when I'm back at the lake in a few days.
