OT Build Record request
- Thread starter Lew's Canoes
- Start date
The Old Town canoe with serial number 162130 is a 13 foot long CS (Common Sense or middle) grade, fifty pound model with a keel. It was built between July and September, 1954. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on October 15th, 1954 to North East, Penna. 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 others 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/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 renew.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions. Please post a picture of the decal on the bow deck. Thanks,
Benson
