The Old Town canoe with serial number 157134 is a 16 foot long, AA (or top) grade, Otca model with a keel and a floor rack. It was built between February and July, 1952. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on July 8th, 1952 to Meredith, New Hampshire. 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 as you probably know well. 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 http://www.wcha.org/about-wcha to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/store/membership to join.
It is also possible that the canoe could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
