Title: looky what i found at a yard sale yesterday! (pic heavy)
Post by: newell38 on April 10, 2011, 11:38:00 AM
while coming home from a 3d shoot yesterday i stopped at a yard sale just for the heck of it.  well, while entering the garage i see this hunk of junk sitting on the table! no seriously though i couldnt believe my eyes! this baby is pretty pristine.  the only thing was that it had some white athletic tape taped to the riser.  i took that off with my secret formula. it took some time but she polished out like brand new.  it has the original string and the old kwikee quiver.  i feel really lucky! im not a collector but i do love me some old bear bows! check her out! this is one of the nicest ORIGINAL 62s i have seen!  (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v250/newell38/DSC01995.jpg)

Newelly, good find.  You're aggressive, and I always expect you to come up with a gem.

Crazy as it seems but there is one exactly like it just listed on the auction site.

Post by: newell38 on April 10, 2011, 05:03:00 PM
and bd is the high bidder already! id love to keep it but it would just be sitting in a bow sock on my rack.  im not a collector and im not trying to get rich so i listed it for 150 bucks.  i hope someone that has been looking for one for a long time gets a chance to win this bow so they can put it to work!

isnt going to do anything for me so i figured list it so someone could enjoy this gorgeous piece of history.  if it was 60# or up it wouldnt be going anywhere! i started it at 150.  im not trying to get rich i just want to see this bow used and appreciated by someone who lives for vintage bear bows.  im not a collector so id love for this bow to go to someone who really will enjoy it...thats all

I understand. I don't like bows under 55 lbs myself. However I think I may have had to hold on to the one you found. It should draw a good price. Good luck.
