Toelke Chinook. Quietest bow I've ever shot. Good performance. Great grip.

I had a beautiful 50's style from Dick Boss I bought from a fellow TradGanger. Sold it to one of my best friends about six years ago, and despite having a bunch of bows now, he won't sell it back for any amount of money  :)

Still the quietest recurve I've ever heard, and really flings an arrow!

Not sure if Rivers Edge Recurves (RER) is classified as a 50's style recurve.  But I have one of their arroyos and love it.  I would say it is definitely worth a peak

I've owned a Jim Reynolds' Ramhorn, several Kohannah Kurves(great!), a Mahaska, and a Northern Mist Ottawa(awesome!).
They are all very good to excellent.
Probably the smoothest shooting recurve I've owned though was a 1959 Bear Grizzly.

As my handle name says, the Mojostick is hard to beat. I shot all of Jim's bows (aka JD) and owned a bunch and I found the 62" Mojostick to shine the best. Others with different draws like the shorter bows.

I've also had Dan Toelke make Chinooks for me. I'm not sure you can find a better "new" 1950's bow.

But then again, if you want a 1950's recurve, why not seek out a real 1950's recurve? I understand Bear made a bunch of them.      ;)     If you don't want a beat up old bow or the high price of a mint original, there's a lot of great refinished 1950's bows out there that are magazine cover worthy. Just a thought.

How about a Red Wing Hunter?

   

In 1957 the recurve world changed overnight.  Can still be had for $100 to $150 and perform as well as new $700 bows.

RER Retro or Pronghorn. I own an RER and it shoots very well. I've shot the Pronghorn and it shoots just as good.
