Help with # 107685 16 thanks, Dave
Old Town
- Thread starter David Satter
- Start date
The Old Town canoe with serial number 107685 is a 16 foot long, AA (or top) grade, HW (Heavy Water) model with red Western cedar planking, open mahogany gunwales, mahogany decks, mahogany thwarts, mahogany seats, a keel, and a floor rack. It was built between October, 1930 and June, 1931. The original exterior paint color was similar to the image at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/designs/design10.gif which was known as design number 10. It shipped on June 9th, 1931 to Masthope, Pennsylvania. A scan of 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 as you probably know well. 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 https://www.woodencanoe.org/about to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/shop to donate or renew.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match the canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.

Thanks Benson. That's great. Hopefully we'll paint the design again.
