Title: can you put a name to this recurve ?
Post by: 450 marlin on April 06, 2008, 08:18:00 PM

Picked this bow up near Grand Rapids Mi. Is there anyone who may have some info on it?
   It's 64" tip to tip strung, I would say in the 40# range, and has a stabilizer insert and a hoyt arrow rest.   (http:// [IMG]http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn169/450marlin/IMG_4174.jpg )[/IMG]  (http:// [IMG]http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn169/450marlin/IMG_4172.jpg )[/IMG]  (http:// [IMG]http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn169/450marlin/IMG_4171.jpg )[/IMG]  (http:// [IMG]http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn169/450marlin/IMG_4170.jpg )[/IMG]  (http:// [IMG]http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn169/450marlin/IMG_4168.jpg )[/IMG]  (http:// [IMG]http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn169/450marlin/IMG_4167.jpg )[/IMG]       (http:// [IMG]http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn169/450marlin/IMG_4174.jpg )[/IMG]

That deep thumb groove and tight curve to the tips scream "N.E. Telum" to me.

I have two of Neco's hunting bows but have never seen one of his target models.  Unstrung, his hunting bows have so much curve they seem to come past parallel with each other.

If it is a Telum, you have a real collector's item.  Neco was not a well known bowyer, but he made a top quality bow.  I would put him right up there with Pyle, Stewart, and Hit.

I do know that the rest is a Hoyt pro rest and the sight base and bar is a Reynolds.

That limb profile is similar to the stuff Border Bows is making these days. Cool bow  :)

Guys,

  Thanks for your input,I,m not a bow collector and shoot a lefty, guess I,m considering putting it up for sale. I don,t know the best way to do this, not knowing the value of an unknown.
