Chris,
Old Town serial number 93212 17 belonged to a 17-food CS (common sense or middle) grade HW canoe that was built in 1926 and shipped to Tupper Lake, New York, on July 20, 1927. The canoe had western cedar planking, an open spruce gunwale, and ash decks, thwarts, and seats. It came with a keel. The original color was dark red.
The scan of this build record is attached below-- click on it to get a larger image. 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 and anyone else reading this will join or renew membership in the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/join.php to renew.
It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description doesn't match your canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
