Cody: All Bear bows from 1953 until 1972 have the Canadian Patent date on them. This patent covered the working recurve limb. This is the date of the patent only and is useless to date the bow. The 1953 Patent date is simply the date of the patent for a working recurve limb.

Don’t want to hijack the thread but why was the patent a Canadian one rather than a USA? Michigan State is on the border to Canada, maybe the waiting line was too long at the American patent office so he crossed the lake for a quicker service?

The us patent nos are listed above the canada name. Bear acquired the patent for the US and Canada. The patent was a US and Canada patent.

I thought I had read that Fred had trouble getting a U.S. patent for the working recurve limb because there were already bows with this design patented in the U.S..Folberth comes to mind.So he got a Canadian patent for it.Not positive if this is correct but I believe it is.
