Old Town Build record

[Charlie S.]

I'm looking for the build record for Old Town serial# 120375 15. Thanks so much for your help!

The Old Town canoe with serial number 120375 is shown as 15 feet long, CS (common sense or standard) grade, 50 pound model with open spruce gunwales, oak decks, seats, and thwarts, and equipped with a floor rack and a keel. The canoe was built between January and July 1937. The original exterior paint was dark red. It was shipped to Carbondale, Pennsylvania on July 19, 1937. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link behind the thumbnail images attached below.



This scan and several hundred thousand others 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 join or 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.

Thanks so much, Greg! I just pulled this canoe from under the porch of our old cottage
