Hello, I have purchased an Old Town canoe that needs to be restored, the serial number is 114178. Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time. -Amy:)
 
Amy,

Old Town number 114178 is an 18-foot square stern model built in 1934 and shipped to Lincoln, Maine. It has open spruce gunwales, ash decks, and spruce thwarts. It was equipped with a rowing seat. The canoe also had outside stems, a floor rack, and sponsons. Its original color was guide special green.

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.

If you are selling your canoe and plan to use this build record information as part of an ad, please consider giving the WCHA credit for this information on eBay or craigslist or wherever your canoe is listed.

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.
