Today's Fleamarket Find 75# Grizzly
« on: May 06, 2012, 12:26:00 PM »
Just after light today at our local fleamarket I came across a guy unloading this out of the back of his car. A nice clean all original 1959 Grizzly 75#
   :eek:   Unreal 75 # and no stress cracks..WOW! We came to an agreement on price    ;)    and that baby now has a new home!

I wouldn't be able to string it.

Mike you find some amazing bows at those flea markets you go to!

Holy crap that is a find! Is the wood in the coin area butcher block or is the line sap wood?

Bjorn, the coin side is butcher block. I was going to try and string it but my bad old back wouldn't handle that.    :nono:
