Look up Kelly Peterson (handle Kelly) and drop him a PM. He can help out.

Jim,

Another source of information would be Tradgang member Bill Wright, handle bfisherman11.  He actually did a phone interview with Bob Lee and had the article, "A Conversation with Bob Lee", published in Tradarcher's World.  He emailed me the article and I still have it.  If you would like it,  I could forward it to you.

Also,  you might find it on their web site,  www.tradarchersworld.com,   spring 2010,  vol. 2, issue one.

Don't forget Wing also made the bows sold under the Colt label. Yes; the same Colt that made firearms.

Yeager,

Thanks very much for the article, it was greatly appreciated.  Slowly picking up bits and pieces of history.  Someday it may all come together.  

Thanks

The top bow w/ white glass looks identical to my wife's bow, a Wing "Swift Wing", I believe it's called. I think the gold sticker indicates pre-1965.
