1956 Ben Pearson Bow??
« on: March 18, 2010, 12:11:00 AM »
I just bought this bow and was wondering if it has any collector value or is it a very commom bow? It looks almost new, it came in the paper sleeve with Ben Pearson tag on it and marked catalog # 503-1, Draw WT.50 lb,Weighed at 28 inches. From what I could find for information it's a 1956 Hickery Hunting Bow with recurve limbs and came in 40#, 45#, and 50# and sold for $11.50. I just need some feed back on this bow I've never had one like this.

I'm the same vintage, and don't look nearly as good!

Nice looking bow.  My first bow was a Ben Pearson lemonwood longbow in 1956.  I was just a kid.

What would you think it's worth? I got it for $20.00.
