Hello
old town canoe 34153 17
I am looking for the associated information and paper work for this canoe. I was told it upon purchase that it is a 1914 and that I could find information here. I wanted to verify the information so I can be accurate in passing the information along upon selling the canoe.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Edward

Welcome and congratulations, the Old Town canoe with serial number 34153 is a 17 foot long, CS (Common Sense or middle) grade, Charles River model with red Western planking, open spruce gunwales, birch decks, birch thwarts, birch seats, and a keel. It was built between March and May, 1915. The original exterior paint color was auto gray. It shipped on May 10th, 1915 to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A scan showing this build record can be found 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/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will donate, join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See https://www.woodencanoe.org/about to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/shop to donate or 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. Good luck with the sale,

Benson
