s/n old town

The Old Town canoe with serial number 69833 is an 18 foot long, CS grade, HW (Heavy Water) model with open spruce gunwales and sponsons. It was built between February and July, 1922. The original exterior paint color was dark red. It shipped on July 11th, 1922 to Chisholm(?), Minn. 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. Additional information about the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will join or contribute to 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.html to join.

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if this description don't match your canoe. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
