Welcome to the WCHA forums. 18096 was assigned to a 16' Charles River model in CS (Common Sense) grade. It had spruce rails, ash seats, decks and thwarts. The original color was white. It was shipped to pioria, Il in July of 1911. A copy of the build record is attached.
Scans of approximately 210,000 records were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. Additional information about the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. Please join WCHA or make a tax deductable contribution so that services like this can continue.

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.
I think you will find these forums to be a wealth of information about wooden canoes and restoration. Good luck with your restoration.
