The Old Town canoe with serial number 89065 is a 17 foot long, CS (Common Sense or middle) grade, Otca model with red western cedar planking, open spruce gunwales, birch decks, birch thwarts, birch seats, half ribs, a keel, and outside stems. It was built between December, 1925 and February, 1927. The original exterior paint color was white enamel which probably looked similar to the one shown at http://www.wcha.org/catalogs/old-town/designs/design27.gif which was known as the design number 27. Please attach some pictures if the original design is still showing. It shipped on May 19th, 1927 to New York City. A scan of this build record can be found below.
This scan and several hundred thousand others were created with substantial grants from the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association (WCHA) and others as you probably know well. 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 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 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.
