New mystery bow

[arrowslinger22]

A friend of mine picked up this bow at a garage sale.  Any guesses on the maker (I know Sears didn't make bows), I've not seen one with the wood and glass combination.
 

 

 

 

 

No stress cracks or holes, just a few paint specks and alot of dirt.

The limb glass color in the last pic is pretty close.  The tips look like a cross between the old wings and bears.

Ben Pearson??? I recently picked up a JC Higgins archery set and the bow had a Ben Pearson label.  However, I suppose Sears used various makers for their archery equipment.

BTW, that's a cool looking bow. Is that zebra wood?

[arrowslinger22]

I believe it is zebra wood.  It looks a somewhat like a pearson colt, but the lines aren't quite right.  I'd like to figure it out.  It is cool looking, but not my style.

I am pretty sure that is an Indian Archery bow.

[arrowslinger22]

I've not seen many Indian Archery bows, excepting the hunting bow types you find on the auction site.  I'll try and check them out.  Thanks.

Looks to be a Ben Pearson.

[arrowslinger22]

I have two votes as pearson and one as indian archery.  After looking at archeryhistory.com, I still cannot find anything exactly like it.  My reason for looking is that I won't keep this bow and I'd like to be able to tell interested parties what it is.  Once I find out, I'll either sell it or put it in the St. Judes Auction.

It is not a pearson evean going back to the golden sovereign series or the conquerors series it doesnt even come close

I'm with selfbow it could be an american

[arrowslinger22]

Selfbow, I think you've got it.  Thanks for your help.  The green glass is probably just for Sears.  I'm bringing it to a shoot tomorrow to let Lamont Granger from the Footed Shaft in Rochester take a look and see what he thinks.  I'm guessing he's seen a version of every bow commercially made in the last 50 or more years.
