Hi Scott--
Old Town 48650 is a 17 foot CS grade Otca with open spruce gunwales and birch decks, seats, and thwarts, fitted with a keel and painted orange with a one-inch black stripe with Greek ends and shipped to Macy's in NYC on May 4, 1917.
Old Town 157199 is a 16 foot CS grade low-end HW with a keel, painted aluminum and shipped to the Daniel Webster Council of the BSA on May 20, 1952.
Old Town 166878 is a 15 foot fifty-pounder, fitted with thwarts instead of seats, painted dark green and sent to Lois Barnes of Northampton, MA on May 29, 1958.
How about all those May ship dates!
Scans are attached below...
Scans of approximately 210,000 records were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others. Additional information about the project to preserve these records is available at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details.
I know you are already a WCHA member and hope to see you at the Assembly! Others reading this who aren't members are encouraged to make a tax deductible contribution so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA, http://www.wcha.org/wcha_video.php to watch a 10 minute video about WCHA and our programs and http://www.wcha.org/join.html to join.
