I am considering an Old Town w&c canoe to repair / use. Would someone be able to identify model and perhaps post/send a build sheet for "95267 17"
Many thanks,
Donald

Old Town canoe identification

Welcome, the Old Town with serial number 95267 is a 17 foot long, CS (Common Sense or middle) grade, HW (heavy water) model with red Western cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, ash decks, ash thwarts, ash seats, and a keel. It was built between September and October, 1927. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on May, 2nd, 1928 to Madison, Wisconsin. A scan showing this build record can be found 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/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will donate, join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See https://www.woodencanoe.org/about to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/shop to donate or 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. Good luck with the decision,
Benson
