Was told, when I purchased it, that this is a 1912 AA Grade but want to confirm and learn as much more as possible about this fine canoe from the available records. Thanks for your help.

The Old Town canoe with serial number 24652 is an 18 foot long, AA grade, Ideal model with western red cedar planking, open mahogany gunwales, mahogany decks, mahogany trim, half ribs, a keel, and outside stems. It was built between December, 1912 and March, 1913. The original exterior paint color was dark red with a gold stripe and turned down ends. This may have looked similar to the image at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/designs/design33.gif known as design number 33. It shipped on March 25th, 1913 to Providence, Rhode Island. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link behind the attached thumbnail image below.
This scan was created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others.
