little bear bow question

[imbowhunt10]

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?

That is a 7 it is a 1967. Jim

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.

What! I need to get over to the auction site! See ya!

[AALLFAB]

Yes it is a 1967 for sure. jim

does the lil Bear have the ser# on the riser like the big boy bows.   TJ

[D.Sheppard]

Yes, here is a "65" with a zebrawood riser.

[imbowhunt10]

Thanks for the input, and i definately see that it is a 67. I am still looking for a 64 in awsome original condition.

[D.Sheppard]

I thought the first year for the Bear Little bear was 1965

[Horney Toad]

You are right Don, 1965 was the first year.

I dont know about that I am about 95% sure i have had at least 2 1964 little bears. Searial numbers started with a 2 i think. Jim

I looked thru my copies of the 64 &65 catalog and the little bear according to the Catalog didnt show up till 1965, P.13

[AALLFAB]

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.
