Say Hello to Billie
Hi Neil--
Old Town 125607 is an AA grade (top grade) 18 foot Guide model canoe, completed between August and October of 1938. It has white Maine cedar planking, open mahogany gunwales, and mahogany decks, thwarts, and seat frames. It was fitted with a keel and a floor rack and painted fire red... something after that I can't truly decipher--- DRU (?). And the name "Billie" was emblazoned in gold on the right and left bow.
The scan of this 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 will join or renew your membership 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.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.
