Benson Gray Canoe History Enthusiast Staff member Oct 27, 2020 #2 The build record for the Old Town serial number 25870 is attached below. My guess is that the original color notation is a very poorly written Dk. R. which usually means dark red. See https://www.wcha.org/forums/index.php?attachments/43700/ and https://www.wcha.org/forums/index.php?attachments/42833/ for some other examples from that era. The color chart at https://www.wcha.org/forums/index.php?threads/7345/ may give you an idea of how it might have looked. Let me know if this doesn't answer your question. Thanks, Benson Last edited: Oct 27, 2020
