I got started a couple of years ago. I started looking to get a set of Bears. That took a little while, but not that long. Next I thought I would do the Ben Pearson's. I bought a bunch of arrows with Deadheads on it, and in a box there was this little Forged head, approx 3:1. I posted something on "The other place" and a guy by the handle of "Raghorn" replied and helped me identify it as a Ben Pearson 788 improved. Life hasn't been the same since. Now the Raghorn tries on a regular basis to keep me on the straight and narrow, but it is a tough job. I still don't have my Ben Pearson's and probably never will. The list has 48 heads listed for Ben, and several others are known that he sold, but aren't listed. Also the different color Switchblades are not listed seperatly, but I sure would like to get a set. (Just in case anyone has any of the different colored ones for trade)

I started out collecting Kodiak Magnums but have turned my attention to Broadheads. I collect only the glue on heads. Met a lot of very nice people, like The Last Kodiak, and have had the opportunity to pick up some really nice heads.
I'm pretty new to broadheads (been collecting for about a year and a half) and don't have alot to offer as traders but would love to hear from other collectors or fellow ABCC members.

The Fred Bear Record I have seen on ebay a few times but I never watched one to the end to see what they have sold for. It sounds to me like you have a nice start of Bear collectable items. Bear archery was very big in the 60's, that is when they were in Graying Mi. I have one of the wonderful Bear Catalog The Grayling years CD. It covers 1948 -1978. 1965-1969 were the only years the the serial was good for dating. The 1st digit is the year,ie; 6=1966
I really doubt that invoice was Fred's writing as the company had several hundred employees then. But then again, mmmmm, could be!
