I bought a new house and the owner saw my bows and went to a closet and pulled out this bow and said, look what Grandpa shot...
I have no idea what it is...Any help????
Has the word "Dana" on it 49#@30

Classy, I want to say Smithwick?

Looks like a bow by Corky Johnson possibly. He was a California bowyer who worked with Harry Drake. The wood is stunning.

thanks guys, any idea on value???

I think Bjorn's on the right track. (I've never seen one of Johnson's bows.)  Somebody from that California group of bowyers-which could also include Smithwick.  Can't see the tips up close but the recurves remind me of an Eicholtz Saturn. That's one of Fred Anderson's favorite old bows and he's likely the best guy to identify this bow.  He knew and worked with all those guys and I'll bet he can put a name to it!  

If it's an Eicholtz, it's likely from the late '50s. My later Eicholtz bows are radical static recurves.

None of those bows seem to bring high prices. Even Drake and Eicholz bows are a relative bargain now.

Here is a pic of the tip on the bow....Thanks, Barry

I have a custom by Corky. Although mine is slightly different, the limb tips are very similar!
