Hink, I will chime in with a wild guess. In retail there are times when a retailer will take a "bulk" shipment and break it down for sale. Possible that this might be what this was used for? Someone could come in and buy the bleeders 1 at a time? Also, with my very limited Bear knowledge I have never seen a "font" like what you have there. Doesn't look like Bear type printing. Again, just a wild guess. Hope all is well. John

I have seen the font on the card somewhere, but have no idea where - just the font not the card that I can remember.
I believe Frank's guess is correct. On the phone earlier today, I told someone the exact same thing.
The Bleeders were also sold in bulk form as a "brick", with dozens of them all stacked together to form a brick. Not sure how many bleeders it took to make up complete brick. I've seen a few bricks, but only one that was unmolested. I have part of a brick somewhere around here. It has a giant pop sickle stick in the middle of the stack of inserts to give them more rigidity.

Just looked at your card a little closer and believe that I have a far better idea about its intended purpose.
It looks like it was made for Bear Razorheads, not the bleeders...
Notice that the slots are staggered so the top row of heads will close in between the bottom row of heads.
Also the top row is in a different position horizontally on the card, when the top row of heads closes, it will be higher then the bottom row of heads.
Remove the bleeders and put in 12 Bear Razorheads and you will see how flat the card closes...
If I am correct, you owe me a beer.

Yes sir wade was telling me that same thing this morring when I called........

Cody - After those books arrived at your home today, I thought you were supposed to be reading "Adventurous Bowmen"... not goofing off on the Internet.
How is that book report progressing, about finished?
Just joking, take your time and do a good job.
-
Yes dad I will get back reading the book. LOL.. Lets see I am on page 114 as of now...... The book report is comeing a long.. At this rate I should be done reading this by this weekend... with the report in on wens morring.....
Cody

Dad do you mind if I take the rest of the day off.. I have date in less then 2 hrs.......
-
Wade.....It only makes sense now that I really think about it besides how it is set up with the slots offset, the card reads "Bear Razorheads" and it closes flat and there's glue residue from tape strip that held it close. The hole at the top of the card maybe to hang it up for sale.
Thanks for the help guys.
Found another Brick Stick.....life is good again. :D Hink

Hink - That looks a lot better with the Razorheads on the card. I'm certain that is what your card was used for originally.
I've always called the stick in the Razorhead brick by the name "giant pop sickle stick". But just now realized that it is probably a wooden tongue depressor from the doctor's office. I believe I'll have mine checked to see if it has Fred's DNA on it. LOL
Cody - I have a grandson in college. I'm old enough to be your grandpa. That is not a joke.

Another great find..Hink :saywhat:

Hink- Nice composition there! :thumbsup: Looks like I've got another new screensaver for awhile!

How many do you need Sam, I have a few to spare. Let me get your address and I'll send some your way.

Jim - Nice insert card. The Razorhead Patent number on the card indicates it was made after the patent number was granted on April 8, 1958.
Prior to the patent, the cards read "U. S. Patent Applied For"...
Also note the difference in the Bear Logos...

The original production inserts had a hole in the front and were not blued. This photograph does not depict the bright, shinny, non blued surfaces very well. The insert tool had a flat non-blued surface. Just pointing out more items for us crazy collectors to look for in our never ending searches for different Bear Archery Products.

Bill I may be wrong on this but several years ago I was on a Mt.Lion hunt at Ron's place along with Joe StCharles.Ron had just scored a bulk box of Razorheads.There were as I recall 1,244 total broadheads in the bulk box(well at one time anyhow).The card inserts in the bulk box looked alot like your broadhead card.Again not possitive but pretty certin ???? bd
-
Don,,,,that could be right and the store would hang them up and sell them one at a time for guy's/gal's that only wanted a few and could be folded and sold by the doz. also....I have a bulk box also, but only one of these cards.
Hink.. :archer:
-
Man I gotta tell ya I tried like hell to make a deal with Ron but it was out of my reach.I wanted the remainder of the broadheads to hunt with.I figured there was over 500 heads left in the box at that time and they would have lasted me a life time cool item bd
-
Yep...that would be a life time supply for sure, I believe he put it up on the auction site, not sure if it sold.....Hink.. :archer:

Bill you may be correct as I've not seen hide nore hair of Ron in sometime.bd
