Title: Ben Pearson Lord Mercury
Post by: Long Draw on April 15, 2009, 03:28:00 PM

I have a 66" Ben Pearson Lord Mercury bow. I don't much about them, so I was wondering if people have an interest in the old target type bows? I'm not even sure when it was made. I tried to find out something about it and read they actually had mercury installed in the bow to balance it or something.

Riser is rosewood with accent stripes.. I have two Lord Mercury's and one Lady Mercury

one of the finest tournament bows ever made.  There is collectors value to it for those that collect Ben Pearsons, or fine tournament bows.

What is the draw weight?

Hard to put a value on them since old bows aew worth what someone will pay...no more, no less.  I have not see one on **** lately so it is hard to say what bidders would pay.  If you want to sell it, i would put it on ****, lots of good pictures and a clear accurate discription

The last one I bought was the Lady Mercury and I got it for $100, but that  wa an exceptional steal.
