serial number request

The Old Town canoe with serial number 46234 is 17 feet long so my guess is that you actually have the one with number 146345. This is an 18 foot long, CS (Common Sense or middle) grade, HW (heavy water) model with open spruce gunwales, ash decks, ash thwarts, ash seats, a keel, a floor rack, and sponsons. It was built between August and September, 1946. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on February 10th, 1947 to Johnstown, Penna. Scans showing both of these build records can be found by following the links at the attached thumbnail images below.
This scan and several hundred thousand more 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,
Benson

It's worth exactly what you paid for it... because anything is worth whatever somebody is willing to pay for it. As a canoe, unfortunately, it's pretty much destroyed. Depending on what parts were not destroyed in the transition to bookshelf status, it might be worth a few cents.
Might not be what you wanted to hear, but it's the hard truth.
