May I have the build record for 470332 please? It should be an 18' guide.
Thank you
Thank you
OT serial number request

The scanned Old Town records stop at 210999 so none of us have any newer information. Old Town stopped keeping detailed records in the late 1980s and yours is probably after that. They issued serial number 500,000 in 1995. You can also look for the hull identification number on the starboard stern that contains an embedded shipping date. Good luck,

Benson, I am sorry but I received the number second hand. It is 170332. Thanks

Old Town 170332 is an 18 foot Guide model canoe, so this may be the correct record. The canoe was completed August-September of 1960. It has a keel and was originally guide special green. Shipping date was October 21, 1960, and it went to Don Gleason's Campers in Northampton, MA. In a Google search, I see that this company is still in business.
