No markings other than a (vertically) stamped-in (down by lower fade-out) serial# W4339...and 53 stamped on riser; assuming the #, but have not put it on a scale...just wondering what it might be...Thanks

Your bow reminds me of a White - one of those California bows.

The skinny riser and limb tips kind of reminds me of Starlight bows of Mesa Cal. 50's vintage.

Looks like it has a Nelson arrow holder screwed to the bow.
