Stream -Eze made fishing rods and some all fibreglass bows.  I don't remember any Stream-Eze arrows, but it's been a long time since I lived in Michigan, and I haven't seen that brand name in years.

One way to find values is to look at 'closed auctions' on the unmentionable auction site.

Tom - I have a couple of arrows with the Stream-Eze water transfer decal on them. If you check back through the ABCC Newsletters over the past 5 years or so you will find an article I wrote which included photographs of a Steam-Eze arrow with a Cliff Krohn broadhead. The article also mentions an advertisement for such.

Check the 1953 Archery June page 44...

Lots to know, and so little time to learn. And now at our age, so easy to forget.

I have a couple sets that have the Stream-eze bows with the arrows. The bows were solid round glass with plastic horn looking tips. Just pull apart at the handle. Handles are cork and also wood depending on the set. The decals are water transfer as wade said. Please don't ask for pics cause these are burried in my collection. Some day when nothing better to do I will dig them out.
