The Old Town canoe with serial number 14031 is a 16 foot long, CS (common sense or middle) grade, HW (Heavy Water) model with red western cedar planking, closed spruce gunwales, birch decks, ash thwarts, ash seats, spruce finish rails, a keel, and sponsons. It was built between April and June, 1910. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on June 18th, 1910 to Bryant's Pond in Oxford County, Maine with a slat back rest, slat seat, and two, number two grade spruce paddles.
