Hi Susan. Your boat is a 16' AA Grade (Top Grade) Double End Boat with open mahogany gunwales, mahogany decks and seats, a keel and outside stems. It was built in 1935, painted dark green and shipped to Fulton, NY.
The scan of this record is attached -- click on it to get a larger image. This scan and several hundred thousand others 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/ot_records/ if you want more details. I hope that you and anyone else reading this will join or renew membership in the WCHA so that services like this can continue. See http://www.wcha.org/wcha/ to learn more about the WCHA and http://www.wcha.org/join.php to renew.
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. Providing photographs would help with identification, as would an accurate measurement of the boat's
length.

Oh! Thank you so much. This is the boat! My father bought the boat in Fulton NY in the 1980s. I don't remember the man's name who he bought it from, but I thought I recalled that he was the original owner of the boat.
