I have just taken an interest in Hill bows and look what should turn up on ****.  Read the letters in the photographs...

I would be careful.  It wasn't "Earl" Flynn, and that looks like a steel cable for a string.  Anyone can type a letter.  Not saying for sure that it is a scam, but
Buyer beware

That bow and story could easily be misrepresented. His other article is also dubious IMO. If that were really the bow with proper provenance it would be cool to have. But used by "Earl"-not worth a bunch! LOL

ACHTUNG! Errol was dapper, not a rapper.
From the Urban Dictionary:
"Earl Flynn"
A dance started in Detroit, Michigan by J Dilla
"Turn up the Dilla track so I can Earl Flynn to it"
A lot of Detroit rappers were talking about "Earl Flynn'in" with lines like "Earl Flynn'n out in Berlin".

Probably better to pass on "Earl's" bow and look for this invisible one custom made for "Jerry" Cooper:
