The Blackhawk Bee was made by Cravotta Bros. in Mckeesport Pa. Most of the Blackhawks were fairly plain, reasonably priced, good shooting bows. Kind of underated IMO. They had a thing for bug names - Wasp, Bee, Hornet, Mosquito. Price is what ever someone is willing to pay. Rarely bring more than $100.
We are all here because we are not all there.

They did have a thing for bugs, I've owned a "Yellowjacket" two "Scorpions" and a "Mosquito."

Good shooting bows, I like the yellowjacket best.

I had a wasp. Bought it at auction for 20 bucks.  it had the cool looking green "textured fabric glass" on the front typical of a few 50's bows I've owned.

Cool little bow, and shot well too.

I cleaned it up and donated it to an auction for st. Judes! I remember the shelf was pretty small.
Relax,

You'll live longer!
