When did old town canoe start using pressed in caned seats?

After 1938, see the link below for a previous discussion of this. The oldest original ones I've seen are in a canoe with serial number 128605 from 1940 as shown below. Let me know if this doesn't answer your question,

Old Town cane seats

I have an Old Town Yankee that needs canvas replacement and restoration. Per build record it was shipped in 1951 (#155168). Seats in it need repair. They have pressed cane. Is this accurate for that era Old Town seat? Should i replace with woven cane? When did Old Town begin using pressed cane...
