Hello, I recently found an old 1958 Bear 50# recurve bow that still shoots great. I was wondering if anyone could give me an estimate on its value? Here's some pictures including the patent and serial number - Bear - Imgur Thanks! EDIT - Oops, noticed the pic with the patent is blurry and upside down >.< The patent # is 2,842,113
I don't believe it's a 1958 but I certainly am not an expert. They are a very good shooting bow but not an extremely valuable bow as a collectable. Still, it's a great bow and if it fits you worth more than it's monetary value. woodsman
The Black Bear was made from 1972-1978. Not a real sought after collector bow, but probably worth $100-$150
