Serial number for Old Town Canoe

Spod

Boat builder and paddler
I am looking for a build card for an Old Town canoe with the serial number 160907. Any help is appreciated. I think this is a 1956 model that I am restoring for a friend.
 
The Old Town canoe with serial number160907 is shown as 16 feet long, CS (common sense or standard) grade, Otca model equipped with a keel.. The canoe was built between October and December 1953. The original exterior paint was dark green. It was shipped to North Easton, Massachusetts on January 29, 1954. It was returned to repair damages on March 11, 1954, then was shipped to New Britain, Connecticut on April 15, 1954. A scan of this build record, front and back, can be found by following the link behind the thumbnail images attached below.

These scans 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 http://www.wcha.org/about-the-wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://store.wcha.org/WCHA-New-Membership.html to join.

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.
