I just bought # 121279 at an auction and would appreciate any info on this canoe. It is 17' and has sponsons, current color is red and this is probably the original color. The canoe is in very good condition other than the canvas and the missing floor slats. I bought it here in Maryland. Thank you, Steve Wilkie

Hi Steve,
Your canoe is an 17' AA grade (top grade) HW model (heavy Water) with open Mahogany gunwales, Mahogany decks, thwarts and seats. It has a keel and sponsons and it had a floorrack. It also has/had rub rails and was originally painted dark blue. It was built in 1937 and sold to a gentleman in Annapolis, MD.
The scan of this record is attached below-- click on it to get a larger image. This scan and several hundred thousand others 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 and anyone else reading this will join or renew membership in the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/join.php to renew.
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. Providing photographs would help with identification, as would an accurate measurement of the boat's
length.
