Ray,
This canoe was shipped on May 16, 1931 to the "Thousand Islands" area of New York. It was built as a 15', 50# model in "AA" grade with mahogany gunwales, seats, decks and thwarts. As options, it was ordered with a keel and floor rack. The original color was Design #16...copy attached along with build record.
