help with identification
« on: February 26, 2011, 09:55:00 AM »
I just got these two bows with some accessories. The first bow is a 60's model hoyt pro hunter, the second is a herters, but I don't have a model on it. I was hoping one of you guys could properly identify the herters. Also, I have an abundance of old broadheads. I had never heard of them, the owner said they were la fonz four blades, if I a spelling any of that right.

I was curious of the value of each bow and obviously the model of the herters bow. Also any info you guys can throw in would be great. I know a bit about old equipment, but around the 70s is where my knowledge ends. Thanks for any help.

The hoyt seems to have exceptionally straight limbs and I was thinking of adding it to my "small" collection. The herters is obviously left hand and I couldn't use it so I plan to sell it, unless it has some kind of intrinsic collector value - which I don't imagine. Again, thanks for looking and I appreciate any help.

Those are LaFaond's Lightninig broadheads c.1959 made in Lapeer, Michigan. Are they all the same?

The ones that are in the picture, the LaFonds broadheads, yes they all seem to look the same. Almost identical unless there are some very minor changes that would be difficult for someone inexperienced to see.

Thanks for the interest, but I gotta ask why?

I was primarily looking for info on the bows and have had two responses on the broadheads, so if someone could fill me in I would appreciated it.

ToddT:  These days there is at least as much interest in BH's as bows.

Can someone please help with the identification of the bows? I would like to know more about the herters especially. Thanks.

Not sure of the model, but it was made in March 1959. No great collector value, but pretty well made bows. I have a '61 Turkish Hunter with the Herters trade-mark mustard Farbenglass back.
We are all here because we are not all there.
