I found out that this broadhead was made in Pa. back in 1957 and was wondering if anyone would know around what it would be worth. I heard between $70-$100.

 

[The Whittler]

That is one mean looking bugger.

[JBiorn]

Doesn't look like much of a penetrator. Hey--Littlefeather was looking for broadheads for a display.

[Falk]

Hmmm!?!
Did you epoxy-lock those blades? That's not so wise as far as collectors value is concerned - BUT - in any case this thing is RARE! You should better apply some weapons oil to prevent further rusting. And DONT shoot that baby!

It seems to be the most common one that you have, but even that is only about 3 dz. all together!
Last one I've seen at the auction site had a minimum bid of $375.-      
It didn't sell BTW, so you can suppose yours is not worth that much in any case. But maybe $200?! Who knows?! Keep it! Admire! Enjoy!

caching caching!!

[Craig]

It is on an arrow that I made for show only. It's not epoxied at all. Just pushed on.

[Falk]

Ah - I see! From your picture I thaught I recon epoxy or something at the ferrule tip and back of blades. Sort of optical illusion    

The ferrule tip in yours looks square and would make this one ABCC #1004
If the ferrule tip is somewhat crimped to the blades it would be #1005. Less then 2 dz. known in the hard core collecting community.

I checked my archive and have to say: yours looks pretty well preserved compared to what I've seen! Given two Nuts who start a fight about it, you might add $100 to what I've said above! A really good find  

[Chuck Homitz]

Your head is ABCC# 1004. a nice, hard to find , head for a collector. I have the same head in my collection.

[PAPALAPIN]

Kind of reminds me of the old Copperhead "RIPPER".

[Craig]

Hey guys thanks for all the info. I really appreciate it. If I would want to sell it. What would be the best way of selling it? Should I put it on e-bay? Thanks, Craig

[Cody Roiter]

Hey Falk
  Is that head homemade you did they sell them at the archery shops.

[Falk]

You meant to say "did they sell them" - not me, right?!
Well, I suppose they have sold only very few otherwise it wouldn't be a rare one. But a patent was issued, so there was at least a plan to get rich by selling it!? Anyhow, it was a "functional failure" I would guess.

[wadde]

The head was made by Armand A. Neri 1957. There were three variations of heads. Yours would be the aluminum ferrule which should be stamped:QUADREAD PAT. PEND. One of the most unusual bleeder blades ever produced. Not real common head but not as rare as some may think either. Good addition to the collection. This head was commonly called the Quadred not Quadread as it was spelled.

[Craig]

wadde, It is stamped: QUADREAD PAT.PEND. Falk, there is some Ferr-Tite hot melt on the broadhead where some one had bonded it to an arrow at one time. I'm not a broadhead collector someone gave me a small box that had 2 broadheads and some old nocks and feathers in it and this Quadread head was in there. Still trying to find out if someone would want to buy it what would be a fair price.

[Falk]

Craig, if you want to get rid of it then put it on the auction site and see what happens. Allow international shipping and Paypal payment and
I will start with $20    Don't worry, there will be someone going above that ... It's just not what I am looking for (now) - at least not for the money it might be worth. Who knows?! Good luck!

[d. ward]

Hi Craig,I believe Falk is correct.I would list it on that auction sight???? and let the feeding frinzzy begain.That is a somewhat rare head,not as rare as some but rarer then many.I see Joe St.listed several great collectable heads yesterday.Maybe hopeing for good holiday sale prices.Strike while the iron is hot.bd
