The Old Town with serial number 72956 is a 16 foot long, CS grade, HW (Heavy Water) model with Western red cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, birch(?) decks, birch(?) trim, and a keel. It was built between July, 1922 and November, 1923. The original exterior paint color was dark red(?). It shipped on January 23rd, 1924 to Philadelphia, Penna. There is no mention of a sailing rig on this build record so that was probably added after it left the factory.
