I am trying to find out more info on this boat. I do not know the year think it is a 1920. Any info greatly appreciated. Serial #52786 16
 
52786 appears on a 16' CHarles River model in CS (Common Sense or No-Frills) Grade. It had open spruce gunwales, Birch Seats, decks and thwarts and a keel. It was painted auto gray with a blue stripe with Greek ends similar to the picture below, except with a medium gray body. It was shipped to Wilkes-Barre, PA in June of 1919. 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. See http://www.wcha.org/wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA, http://www.wcha.org/wcha_video.php to watch a 10 minute video about WCHA and our programs and http://www.wcha.org/join.html to join. If you are already a WCHA member, THANK YOU!

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.
