Title: Bear Quiver info: Single bolt with leather
Post by: smalson on June 28, 2008, 12:16:00 AM

Hi, guys.

I got this old quiver with a bow I bought.  It is a single bolt quiver that has leather . . .   well . . .  take a look at it.  You guys know a lot more than me.  

Age?  I presume it was for bolting on to the 50's Bears.

What should be under that electrical tape?

I don't know, prob from the 50's. Under the tape should be the leather cap.

I think I'm going to pull the tape off and see what is hiding . . .    or is that a bad choice?   Should I leave that for a true collector rather than a user like me?

Steve, you have several inquiries about the classified add you have for the quiver.  Trap

When I bought this quiver, it was with a 70's Grizzly.  I guess the guy had gotten rid of the older bow because he said he couldn't remember what had happened to it.  

This quiver is going to a guy's father in law who loves Bear stuff.  I'm glad it is going to a good place.  My wife is even happier.
