The Old Town canoe with serial number 106958 is a 17 foot, CS (Common Sense or middle) grade, HW (Heavy Water) model with red Western Cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, a keel, and a floor rack. It was built between July and November, 1930. The original exterior paint color was dark red. It shipped on April 9th, 1931 to Pittsburgh, Penna. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link at the thumbnail image attached below.

These scans and several hundred thousand more were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others as you probably know well. 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/wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/join.php 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.
