You probably have a different number since the Old Town canoe with serial number 108109 is an 18 foot long, CS grade, Otca model that shipped to Hingham, Mass. on May 7th, 1931. Some of the tricks described at http://forums.wcha.org/showthread.php?791 may help reveal the actual number. Please attach some pictures of the numbers from each end. Thanks,
