The Old Town canoe with serial number 124696 is shown as 16 feet long, AA (top) grade, Yankee model with , open mahogany gunwales, mahogany decks, seats, and thwarts, and equipped with a keel, outside stems, a full-length bang plate, and a floor rack. The canoe was built between March 1938 and May 1940. The original exterior paint is shown as design no. 10. It was shipped to Syracuse, New York on May 11, 1940. A letter from Mansfield, Massachusetts inquiring about this canoe was received by OT on September 23, 1985. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link behind the thumbnail images attached below.
This scan and several hundred thousand others were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. 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

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your canoe.
