Dave,
Old Town number 30336 belonged to a 16-foot AA (or top) grade Charles River model canoe that was built between 1914-16 and shipped in 1916 to Ottawa, Canada. It was all mahogany and had a keel, outside stems, and a floor rack. It was originally dark red.

Thanks Norm for the speedy reply . This canoe is still in the family of the original owner after all these years. My brother in law has passed it on to me , unfortunately it has fallen into disrepair and I am in the process of rebuilding it. Lots of rot at both stern and bow, the rib ends are also rotted and require extensions scarfed on to them. Still have the original floor board and back rest. It will be a long winter spent in the basement but well worth the effort in the spring when I plan to float it once again. Dave.
