The Old Town canoe with serial number 29824 is a 17 foot long, AA grade, Charles River model with red Western cedar planking, mahogany gunwales, mahogany decks, mahogany thwarts, mahogany seats, a keel, and a floor rack. This may also have closed double mahogany gunwales but the notation is not clear. See
http://www.wcha.org/forums/index.php?threads/3823/ for more information about these. This also shipped with a slat back rest and two number one grade spruce paddles. One was five feet nine inches tall and the other was five feet. It was built between December, 1913 and March, 1914. The original exterior paint color was dark green. It shipped to Stevens Point, Wisconsin. A scan of this build record can be found by following the link behind 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

It is also possible that you could have another number or manufacturer this description doesn't match the canoe. Feel free to reply if you have any other questions.
