Title: little bear bow question
Post by: imbowhunt10 on January 09, 2010, 04:28:00 PM
Can anyone tell me what year this little bear is, item no. 370316477391? I am wanting one that would have been made in 1964. This one does not have a 5thru9 in front of the serial no. so does that mean it must be a 64?

The little bear was made between 1965 and 1978. The listed bow is a post 1970 little bear. I hope to get a 1967 for my son Gunther this year, it would be wonderful for him to learn on a bow from my birth year.

Very often the cats dont match what they really did. Makes me wish Al was still with us. I could just call and be done with it. Jim

I also have one with a serial no. that begins with a 2, so that is why i thought it might be a 64. Anyway i have two grandkids so i am looking for another "64"? if that is what they are.
