Title: 1960 Ben Pearson "Palomino"
Post by: hardbern on January 27, 2017, 04:19:00 AM

I believe this was the first US made bow imported & sold in UK via a dealer/retailer - in this case Lillywhites (sports department store) in London - circa April 1960.

Those early 60s Pearsons were waaay cool. One would think a collector from Missouri would be able to find some bows manufactured in his neighboring state but I've not ever discovered any.

One of my 'grail' bows.  Simply beautiful!
