I have an Old Town Canoe that was purchased in the 60's and would like more info on the Model and the age. The Serial Number is 169510-16. I know this is a 16 foot unit.
 
The Old Town canoe with serial number 169510 is an 16 foot long Otca model with a keel. It was built between December, 1959 and March, 1960. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on March 14th, 1960 to Bangor, Maine. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image 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/ot_records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/about-the-wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://store.wcha.org/WCHA-New-Membership.html to join.

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description don't match your canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
