Welcome, the Old Town canoe with serial number 120303 is a 16 foot long, AA (or top) grade, Otca model with open mahogany gunwales, mahogany decks, mahogany thwarts, mahogany seats, a keel, outside stems, a floor rack, a mast seat, a mast step, a rudder and rub rails. It was built between January, 1937 and February, 1940. The original exterior paint colors were similar to the ones shown at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/designs/design45.gif which was known as the design number 45. It shipped on July 27th, 1940 to Providence, Rhode Island. A scan of this build record can be found below.
