Got Early Christmas Present, A "New" Bow

[LeeBishop]

Well, it's new to me. It's one of the unicorns I had been after, a Palomino.

This one is in pretty good shape. Only has a few scuffs on the lower tip and a light scratch across the name "Palomino."  It looks like it has spent most of its time in its cloth bow sock.

This bow is going to look GREAT in the documentary film. It's one of my favorite bows Pearson ever made.

Do you guys know when this may have been made? I don't know their whole serial number scheme since I don't have catalogs or dealer catalogs. The Serial is L- 6101.  Made in 1961 maybe?

The last time I was at my dad's place in the hills I told him about the bow for sale online and he said he'd pick it up.  He's pretending that he's going to be using it, but I can't allow that to happen because he knows NOTHING about archery.  This bow still looks good 50 years later     :D

Yeah, and it sold for $125.50. That's the lowest I had ever seen a Palomino bow sell for on "that" web site.

The person that had listed the bow spelled it wrong.  I think it may have kept the viewers down on the listing.

These things sold for $79 back in the early 1960s. If you calculate for inflation, that's a $650 bow in today's worthless money.
