Title: Anyone Collecting Old Bowstrings ?
Post by: Wade Phillips on August 01, 2009, 10:45:00 AM

We all know Collectors are crazy...

Anyone collecting old bowstrings in original packages?

If so I have lots of duplicate Collector Bowstrings in old original packages to give away...

North Lake, Mercury, Darton, and some empty round tubes.

Always looking for more Bear oblong tubes, traditional only.

Wade, I could use one of each that I don't have and I'll gather mine up to see if you need any. Most mine are loose.

On the strings from Compton, can you let me know what I'm looking for, tubes, packages, how many etc.I still have stuff in there that I haven't put away yet.

Wade the BH book arrived today that you fixed back up with missing pages, covers. I won't let it get that way again without getting it to you sooner....Thanks alot for taking care of it.

Oh....a quick question..Can you tell me the year? 1955? I picked up 62" grizzly double cutout shelfs Black glass front & back standing Bear decal..36#....Hink..     :archer:

What a shame I just dumped 2500 strings at the dump.

bamboo - The oblong plastic tubes with the Bear logo, only ones for traditional bows. A few in this display are not traditional, just put them in there to fill it up for the photograph...

Billyjack - Which dump? Maybe we can get someone on the east coast to do a rescue mission...    :)
