Unknown any ideas?

Hi, here is the other one. Any info would help. No name so maybe some of you pro's might know what it is. Also paid $20 for this so I'm sure that was a steal also. Thanks for an input.

I think this one is a 59 Shakespeare Wonderbow. I believe this one is model 300. Nice looker. They were trying to emulate the basic shape of the same era Kodiaks. CKruse

Where in Pa. are you, and do they have any more steals?  I'll be there in 2 weeks, leave me a few.   :D

Nice looking. What kind of wood is it?

I believe those have walnut and rosewood risers....here's something even cooler about your bow...it is almost the same profile as a 1959 bear kodiak....great shooters too.bowdoc

Thanks for all the info guy's. Looks like I got a steal on these.

I'm in Bucks County, PA.

Here's the story behind the bows. It was really just luck to come across these. I was currently looking for a bandsaw because I make custom striped bass lures and came across a craftman that was listed on a sister site of fleabay. So I go to the guy's house and it's an 86 year old guy and him and his wife are moving into a retirement home. He asked me if I hunt and I'm like yeah but I just got into recurves. So he says follow me. He takes me to his basemnet and he's like check these out, any interest. I look and I'm like wow these are sweet bows. So he's like make me an offer. I'm thinking to myself these gotta be worth $50 a peice at least but didn't say anything and was like I don't know what do you want for them. He's like give me $20 bucks for each. I was like SOLD! Thats the story. Just lucky I guess. The nice thing was he had them stored properly on a rack so they weren't sitting in a corner or anyting like that.

Thanks again, Chris

That's the way I like to buy bows also.  Make the seller price the bow.  Then there are no regrets, hard feelings or feelings or guilt.  Everyone's happy and everyone gets what they want.  

Nice finds Chris, Trap
