Welcome, the Old Town canoe with serial number 130693 is a 15 foot long, CS (common sense or middle) grade, fifty pound model with open spruce gunwales, ash decks, ash thwarts, ash seats, a keel, and a floor rack. It was built between October, 1940 and 1941. The original exterior paint color was dark green with a white hair line stripe. It shipped on March 10th, 1941 to Newark, New Jersey. 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. 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 you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match the canoe. The 1941 catalog at https://www.woodencanoe.org/_files/ugd/537308_4799826f1d234440801bc3589fd08232.pdf has more details on page 10. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
