About 10 years ago, I counted all the Grumley T/D bows that I had seen. The total was exactly 3 dozen. Although I haven't kept track since then, it is likely that at least another dozen have surfaced in the past 10 years.
Point being, that the Grumley T/D bows are not really that rare if about 50 are known to be in existence. However certain models of the Grumley T/D are quite rare.
This case has 7 Grumley T/Ds, it is here at the Arsenal. This was one of the cases with Bear Grumley bows on display at Compton in 2011.
Note bush bow, second from right has the same hickory back and same round NFAA decal that Rich shows, although a different bow.

I took all the bows out of John's cases and spent about three months arranging the 53 Grumley bows from John's and all of mine into one collection, then put them in the cases pretty much in chronological order. The case on the right, right has two of John's and two of mine. The two Deersylayers were Johns, the the Bush and Hunter were mine. John never had a TD Hunter. Only one of the bows in the left case was John's. Fortunately, nearly everything John was missing, I had. There are sill a few holes on a couple of variations of every wood type and overlay type in all the models.

Wade I realize were talking about the T/D's here and you have just given us some great history. Can I ask about the Grumley Deerslayer non T/D, stamped and signature? Any idea how many are out there of the two?? Any particular rare models or I should say variations?
Just Curious Nice Display, Looks like it's hinged and just folds together for travel!

I don't really classify the printed & singed and the ink stamped & signed as two different bows as both markings appear on bows that are constructed the same. Construction of the bows really makes a different bow, Deersslayer vs Bush vs Hunter vs Field vs Target vs Flight etc, solid wood vs 3 lam, lamination differences, overlay differences, TD vs non TD, different backing. Another example of different markings are the After Bear Grumley bows some of which are signed one of two different ways and others are ink stamped. Again After Bear Grumley bows are classified by construction.
Yes, most of my displays are hinged so they fold together for travel.
