The Old Town canoe with serial number 164332 is a 17 foot long, AA (or top) grade, Otca model with a keel, outside stems, and a floor rack. It was built between November, 1955 and June, 1956. The original exterior paint color was bright red. It shipped on June 14th, 1956 to Easton, 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 join.
It is also possible that this canoe could have another number or manufacturer if the description doesn't match. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
