Pics of 1960 Bear Arrows??

[59Alaskan]

All,

I am working on reproductions of a Bear arrow made in 1960.  It was a solid orange shaft with natural barred fletch, and shades of green as the main cresting colors.

I believe they were called Cedar Chiefs.

I would GREATLY appreciate close up pics of the nock, fletch, and cresting if anyone has some of these arrows.  It would be even better to have a ruler lying next to the arrow.

THANK YOU!

It seems that the Cedar Chief is Blue. This help?

Hi Ron,


Thank you for the feedback.

The pic is not coming through.  They made two during that year I think - the Cedar Chief and the Cedar King.  I don't have a 1960 catalog and I don't remember which is which.  I am looking for the orange one.  I have a few long distance pics of them I can post later.

PM to you
you may want to try a refresh/reload and see if that brings the picture up

THANK YOU for the very helpful e-mails!

Today has been very enlightening for me on Bear arrows.  It's been really great to learn about.

I first saw the orange arrows in a pic just like the one Ron posted above.  I liked the look but forgot about them.

I saw them again in set that was for sale on the classifieds and said, "I need to build some of those".

Well, turns out the Cedar Sprite were youth/target arrows.  What was in the set I am trying to replicate are Cedar King's.  Cedar King's could be custom ordered in several shaft colors including "tangerine".  The crest coloration could be custom ordered along with the color of the offset fletch.

Cool stuff.  THANKS RON!
