I found a really cool old arrow box with some arrows in it, it says on the top of the 2 pc card board box on top says "The Bear Archery Shop of Detrot" 2611 W. Philadelphia Ave Detroit 6, Michigan. on top of the box. its a really cool old box and i was wondering if anyone else has seen one of these boxes or has one.
thanks
C.J.

C.J.; I'm new to the gang but I really enjoy it,Hey I've got some old letters of Fred's with that address and their dated May 1941so this info might let you even date your box a little earlier.  Ronco
