I'll start.
Someone put a lot of love into this arrow around 1950....................



The plastic nock is one of the earliest I have seen-wish they still made them like that.......



The pic could be better; but you can see how the fletcher trimmed the quill end with a knife to make it flush with the cedar shaft.

Ron Roehrick asked me to post this beautiful pair of early Sweetlands tipped with period Pearson Deadheads



Lots of mojo right there!

I had a closer look at the nock on my arrow it is not plastic it is bone!
Here's a better pick.



Mike, the broadhead is a late 40's Zwickey.

Nice head Bjorn.

Here is a Sweetland arrow from the early 60's



This is a four fletch, beautifully crested and done in matching green turkey feather



And signed by Bill Sweetland and Glenn St. Charles

I too have a Sweetland Arrow from the 60's.

A Ben Pearon Arrow.

And my favorite,  my fathers hunting arrows by Fred Bear.

Jack those have some serious Mojo-thanks for sharing.

Jack Guard

Hey guys, lets keep this going.  I love to see arrows from the past.  I have been wanting to copy a few old patterns for some future arrows for myself.  

Bjorn, thanks for the nice comment.  Here is a pic of the one and only deer my father killed with those arrows.  I even have the Bear Broadhead he did it with.  The picture was taken in Bath County Virginia.  Do you guys know what bow that was he shot.  I use to shoot it as a teenager and ended up breaking it as i strung it one day.

Great pic! Looks like a 1956 Kodiak Special to me. Airplane prop silencers, Kwickee bow quiver and bear broadheads.
I can't get a fix on the other bow.

 Bear arrows in boxed set(Bear Bowhunting Outfit) with Cub(looks like black aluminum coin.)Included 4 target arrows, (I only have 2)an armguard and shooting glove. Whata think? Early 60's?

Bjorn

Beautiful set up! The Cub looks and sounds like it may be a 62. A few more pics maybe?
