Title: Newest Bear In Our Family
Post by: Mike Shaw on December 02, 2008, 08:17:00 PM

We just found this rare 1962 lady Polar 56" 30# @24".  From research we understand this was the only year Fred offered the Polar in a 56" for the ladies.  Bow was found in near mint condition with the exception of the feather rest was deteriorated.  I contacted Trap to see if he could make me a low profile rest close to the factory one.  Not only was it close it was an exact match.  The man knows his feather rests!  Many thanks Daryl.  This Polar found a home..Thanks Fred..   :notworthy:

I let go of a pair of 1962 Polars a year ago. The men's are quite common, but you don't see the shorter one much. Pretty bow! CKruse
