Molitor mid-60s?

Welcome, the Old Town canoe with serial number 177235 is a 17 foot long Molitor model with a keel, and outside stems. It was built between December, 1966 and December, 1967. The original exterior color was dark green and it shipped to Minneapolis, Minnesota on January 15th, 1968. A scan showing this build record is attached 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 http://www.wcha.org/about-wcha to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/store/membership to join.

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer this description doesn't match. Canoes with a family connection are always extra special. Let me know if you have any other questions.
