never seen one of these b4 Roy Case new pic

Doc - Interesting story about the bow. L.E. lKumerow sounds familiar but can not place the guy off hand.

Roy was one of the earliest broadhead manufacturers in the US. He started making broadheads in the 1920s. Although he made several different styles of broadheads over the years and ended production in the 1950s, he never had a patent on broadheads or broadhead related equipment.

Actually Roy's patent has something to do with the opposite end of the arrow...

I'll bet those wheels are turning now...

This is the "notchless" static limb tip with string keeper on Roy's bow that he signed and dated Feb 1942...

The "notchess" limb tip and string keeper are similar in many aspects to yours that is dated 25 years newer, 1967...

wow no kidding that looks just like the string keeper on my bow and the tips even look the same.
Aluminum noc's ????????? bd  I came back and added this pic.That has got to have been built by the same guy.Right down to the small groove on the back...weird bd

Doc - Knowing Roy’s static was dated 1942, the last thing I figured was the Roy's bows from 1967 would still have the same nock. Like I said, I out guessed myself on that one.

In thinking back on Roy’s equipment, he did not change many things even though time had seen the development of improvements. Guess in many ways, we are all a lot like Roy in that regard…

Sorry Roy did not have a patent on aluminum nocks...

Actually aluminum nocks date back into the 1800s. Their first mention I have seen is in English Archery. In 1884, aluminum was the material used to cap the Washington Monument. At that time, aluminum was about equal in value to silver....

Can you envision buying a dozen nocks that would be equal in value to silver today???
