I recently refinished an Old Town canoe obtained from the original owner and would like to have a copy of the build record. The serial # is 171649 18
 
Welcome, the Old Town canoe with serial number 171649 is an 18 foot long Guide model with a keel. It was built between December, 1961 and February, 1962. The original exterior paint color was red. It shipped on February 7th, 1962 to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A scan showing this build record can be found by following the link at the attached thumbnail image below.

This scan and several hundred thousand more 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/catalogs/old-town/records/ if you want more details. I hope that you will donate, join or renew your membership to the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/about-wcha to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/store/membership to join.

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.
