The Old Town canoe with serial number 110752 is a 17 foot long, AA (or top) grade, Otca model with red Western cedar planking, open mahogany gunwales, mahogany decks, mahogany thwarts, mahogany seats, and a keel. It was built between 1931 and 1932. The original exterior paint color design was similar to the one shown at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/designs/design37.gif which was knows as the design number 37 . It shipped on February 17th, 1932 to Alton Bay, New Hampshire. It was returned for repairs on October 23rd, 1942. The repairs required lots of new parts and refinishing as shown on the back side of the card. It was then returned to Farmington, New Hampshire on January 13th, 1943.
Scans showing both sides of these build records can be found by following the links behind the thumbnail images attached 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/ot_records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will 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,
