I just pulled my Bro-in-law's Blackhawk Bee from the rack and it is nearly exact to that bow's riser.

OK, so far there seems to be no consensus with the following responses:  :campfire:  

American Archery (Shark)

Bear

Ben Pearson (Cougar)

Blackhawk (Bee)

Browning

Colt

Damon Howatt

Diamond

Ernie Root

Indian

Shakespeare

Wing

Anyone REALLY sure?  :confused:

One person was correct.   It is a 1961 Shakespeare X-17, the forerunner of the Ocala.
I had one similar to this several years ago.

Wonderbow X-17, 1961, 62 inches

Full working recurve

Weights 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 and 60 lbs

Glass Ivory-white front and charcoal grey back

Handle Polished black walnut

Confort conture grip

Sight window 6 inches

Brace height ?

Here's url to the photo.

Thank you Mr. Stout,

That is it, I do believe!  A Shakespeare from 1961...
