The Old Town canoe with serial number 80979 is a 17 foot long, CS (Common Sense or middle) grade, Otca model with red Western cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, birch decks, birch thwarts, birch seats, and a keel. It was built between October, 1923 and February, 1924. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It was shipped on March 22nd, 1924 to Chicago, Illinois. The back side of this record indicates that it may have moved to Wausau, Wisconsin by 1976 when there was a previous request for a copy of this information. Scans of both sides of this build record can be found by following the links behind the thumbnail images attached below.
These scans 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/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-wcha to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/store/membership to join.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description don't match the canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
