I have an old Ben Pearson longbow. It was depicted in a 1942 catalog that I once saw, but I don't really know what year it was built. It was owned by my wife's great uncle. I also have a 1959 Wing Redwing Hunter in very nice condition. My first HHA bow is a Wesley Special that was my first custom bow. Also, I have a Northern Mist Shelton that was custom built for me. The one that still holds first place on my list is an inexpensive Ben Pearson Gamester recurve, which was the first bow I owned, and I killed my first deer ever with it.
