I just stumbled across and bought an old two piece quiver without a protective hood containing four micro-flite arrows tipped with razorheads which I believe to be from 1964. Was just wondering if anybody else has any info on this set as far as age and value.

You just did a good jod of identifying the year 1964, give or take a few. Value not much. What is the size marking on the MIcroflight? Should be a number. If it is a 7 they would be good for 45-50#
#8 for 55#
IF they will shoot for you go out and enjoy them. Fiberglass shafts are great arrows.
Do not use the quiver! They are a great way to end up with a sharp broadhead in your leg or your buddys. They also great at cutting any other bowstring within 15 ft!Protective hoods were put on bow quivers for a good reason.I'm probably stating the obvious but I am speaking from experience.

Oops, I see you did have the shaft # in the title....sorry.

Thanks Ron...they were sitting on a dusty old shelf in a old sports store and I paid $20 for the four in the quiver and one other. I always like to find out the history of these things I find.
Thanks again.

I agree with RAGHORN. Do not use the quiver unless you are able to pick up a clip on broadhead cover. For a good example of what can happen with a setup like this. See the movie DELIVERANCE.
