As I was wandering through the latest E*** auctions, I came across something strange. There is a leather back quiver with what I assumed was the Bear Archery Logo or embossed picture of the indian paddling a canoe carrying a buck. This quiver was marked "Indian Archery", not Bear.
The auction is titled VINTAGE EMBOSSED ** INDIAN ARCHERY ** LEATHER QUIVER W / 11 WOODEN ARROWS.
Anyone ever see one of these before???

I have an old quiver full of mismatched arrows also. I will have to see what that sells for.
I don't look for that kind of stuff, so no, I haven't seen one of those. It just tickles me to see that someone else was doing the same thing that I do. I let the grandkids play with and shoot the arrows in my old catch all quiver.

Bear made quivers for many other companies

I believe Indian archery had a deer in the canoe Bear didn't....?????

I have the famous Indian in the Canoe embossed in leather quivers that are also embossed with several other company names.
Bear was in the business of manufacturing and selling in volume. Bear would put any company name on a quiver, shooting glove, or other leather item.
