Ot serial number

[Andre Cloutier]

Is there a record for 4732 16- could be 4738 or 4788 relying on seller for numbers. Looks like an older hw maybe cs grade. Thank you for

While you are waiting, my 4814 was shipped in April of 06 so it looks like you are onto an old one...05?...interesting. Hope you can score it.

Send some of your geese down later this month please, maybe around the 22nd...some ducks as well if you might.

Wow, I just figured there were numbers missing. It's tough, haven't seen it in person yet but it's open gunwale. Geese and ducks around here taste like wonder bread

I agree that some numbers are probably missing since the Old Town canoes numbers 4732 and 4788 are both 17 feet long. Number 4738 is 16 feet long but was a fancy AA grade Charles River model with half ribs. The Carleton canoes with these serial numbers were built before 1910 so no records exist for them. The Kennebec numbers skip from 4508 to 5000. Please attach some pictures when you can. Good luck,

Benson

No half ribs.

It is hard to tell from those pictures but my guess is a mid-teens canoe based on thick thwarts and no obvious signs of diamond headed bolts. There are several in the 4732x range that are 16 feet long. The one with serial number 14732 shipped to Canada but it was 18 feet long. Let us know what you find.
