The Old Town canoe with serial number 96541 is a 17 foot long, CS (common sense or middle) grade, Charles River model with western red cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, oak decks, oak thwarts, oak seats, a keel, outside stems, and a bang plate along the full length of the keel. It was built between December, 1927 and March, 1928. The original exterior paint color was bright red. It shipped on March(?) 14th, 1928 to Easton, Penna.

Thanks very much for the information. The canoe is in fairly good shape and will be restored to the orginal red. It's new home is on Cranberry Lake in the Adirondacks along with another restored 1927 green old town. Salvaging one more from PA. Again appreciate the help.
