Welcome, the Old Town canoe with serial number 205069 is a 17 foot long Chipewyan Tripper model that weighed 76 pounds. It was built in November, 1974. The original exterior color was dark green. It shipped on November 29th, 1974 to Rochester, New York. The back side indicates that there were some scuff marks on the vinyl skin. Scans showing both sides of this build record can be found below.
These scans 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. The 1974 catalog at https://adirondack.pastperfectonline.com/Library/C0ACFFDE-A79A-4E23-8183-728343528600 describes this model on page seven. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
