Hello--
If this record matches your canoe, then your canoe will soon have its 100th b-day.
Old Town 13142 is a 16 foot AA (top) grade HW model canoe, finished between December 1909 and April 1910. It has red Western cedar planking, closed spruce gunwales, and mahogany decks, thwarts, and seat frames. It was fitted with a keel and painted dark red, and shipped with a floor rack to Macy's in New York City on May 4, 1910.
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.
What kind of shape is she in?

Re-check the numbers. On a canoe, you'd have two chances to get the right s/n, but doesn't sound like that's the case with your boat. Occasionally, someone will chop off the end of a canoe, but they wouldn't add sponsons, so we don't have the record that fits your boat.
I can look at the records--- sometimes "1" is a "7" or "3" is an "8", but if you can check it again on your end, we may save time.

Forgot to mention that I checked the Carleton records, and that number comes up as a canoe there too... a CS grade HW.

It can help to take a digital photo... sometimes the numbers show up differently. So, if it isn't obviously a different number, you may try that and post here for many eyes to help figure it out.
