Thank you!
 
Congratulations, the Old Town canoe with serial number 112092 is a 16 foot long, AA (or top) grade, Otca model with red Western cedar planking, open mahogany gunwales, thirty inch mahogany decks, mahogany thwarts, mahogany seats, a keel, outside stems, and a floor rack. It was built between January and April, 1933. The original exterior paint color design was similar to the one shown at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/designs/design33.gif which was know as the design number 33. It shipped on August 9th, 1933 to Saranac Lake, New York. A scan showing this build record can be found below.

This scan and several hundred thousand more were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others as you probably know well. 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 https://www.woodencanoe.org/about to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/shop to donate or 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. Good luck with the project,

Benson
