Title: Woodcraft Equipment LB Question
Post by: Steve Nuckels on February 11, 2009, 08:17:00 PM

I have a "Woodcraft Equipment" LB it's stamped FB 55 under that 30
It looks to be all wood with a black back, and black tape wrapped grip. decent shape, considering it looks to be old!

What would a bow like that be worth, and is there a market for it?

$10-50 on the bay is my guess. not much demand for old all wood bows down around 30#. If its really pretty and you take a bunch of good pics, it may fetch a bit more.

Mine is stamped FBH 55. According to an old York Archery catalog the FB stands for fiber backed. Mine is lemon wood with a walnut riser build-up, black fiberglass backing and scales right about 55#@28" Refinished it with tru-oil, new leather grip and shoot it all the time. It's almost a clone of "Old Buck" who makes the rounds over on ***********. Do a search, you will be surprised.
