Probably a '59.  Serial number would help.

Looking in the Bear history book by J. Coppen it seems to be a 59 or 60. What color is glass and tip over lays?

Thanks Ron- I appreciate the help.

Now I wonder what the value is.  I’m not selling it.  Just wondering.

Depending on the shape it’s in, it’s worth what someone wants to pay to own one. I would think if it’s nice , maybe $300-350. A lot of folks really like them so I maybe way off.
