The Old Town canoe with serial number 105897 is a 15 foot long, CS (Common Sense or middle) grade, fifty pound model with red western cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, half ribs, and a keel. It was built between April and September, 1948. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on October 29th, 1948 to Mobile, Alabama.
The Old Town canoe with serial number 183474 is a 16 foot long Guide model with a keel. It was built between June and September, 1969. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped on March, 4th, 1970 to Birmingham, Alabama.
Scans showing these build records can be found below. These scans was created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others as you probably know well. 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. Your life membership to the WCHA is much appreciated.
It is possible that you could have another number or manufacturer if these descriptions don't match the canoes. Feel free to reply here if you have any other questions.
