I'd like to know the build history of #80787 17, which seems to be a 17 foot OTCA.
Thank you.

Hi Charles, Your canoe is a 17' CS Grade (Middle Grade) OTCA with western red cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, birch decks, thwarts and seats. It was equipped with a keel and a painter ring; painted dark green, made in 1923 and 1924 and shipped to Albany Hardware and Iron Co., Albany, NY.
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 and anyone else reading this will join or renew membership in 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. Providing photographs would help with identification, as would an accurate measurement of the boat's
length.
