I have acquired an old town canoe that has a serial number of 166082 18. Any info of when made and model would be helpful. I believe it was purchased mid 1950's Thanks
 
Welcome and congratulations, the Old Town canoe with serial number 166082 is an 18 foot long, CS (common sense or middle) grade, Guide model with half ribs, and a keel. It was built between February and April, 1957. The original exterior paint color was G. S. (Guide's Special) green. It shipped on April 16th, 1957 to Newport News, Virginia. 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 http://www.wcha.org/about-wcha to learn more about the WCHA and https://www.woodencanoe.org/pricing-plans/join to donate or join.

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