My 98 year old grandmother has this canoe in her barn. Any help with id will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
 
The Old Town canoe with serial number 167420 is a 16 foot long Otca model with a keel. It was built between March and December, 1958. The original exterior paint was dark green. It shipped on December 8th, 1958 to Utica, New York. A scan showing this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image 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/ot_records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/about-the-wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://store.wcha.org/WCHA-New-Membership.html to 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,

Benson
