The Old Town canoe with serial number 112649 is an 18 foot long, CS (common sense or middle) grade, square end paddling model with red western cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, oak decks, oak thwarts, oak seats, half ribs, a keel, and outside stems. It was built between June and September, 1933. The original exterior paint color was G. S. (Guide's Special) green. It shipped on September, 12th, 1933 to Buffalo, New York. A scan showing this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image 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 join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/about-wcha to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/store/membership to renew.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
