Title: New Bear medallions
Post by: kurtbel5 on July 23, 2009, 06:38:00 PM

I am expecting the Aluminum and the Silver reproductions next week sometime,same flat back Bear design.

I will also have a small # of hat or quiver pins made in the silver,I think these will be pretty nice.

I will post pictures and pricing, as soon as they come in.

Next up will be the pewter.

Thanks for your support
Kurt

I suppose they could double as a tie tack as well.  I mean, I wear a tie so often.  

Can't wait to see them Kurt.  Put me on the list for the first run of quiver pins.

Thats funny he asked if I wanted cuff links and tie clasp's, I have not seen many of us in ties or suits,so told him to hold off, till a better dressed group of archers comes along.

Now if he could incorporate them into a beer holder or a can opener...

I know you cannot always confirm a year with the type medallion,   :readit:  but is this the "general" way things went?  I know there was overlapping and/or "accidents." (Correct me if I'm wrong.  :knothead:  )

1959 - copper

1960/61 - aluminum

1962 - pewter

1963-70 - brass

1971-72 - silver

1973-78 - raised buttons of gold/chrome colored plastic

Lon, you'll find quite a few copper and nickel coins  in 1960 bows along with aluminum.  I think things were pretty "haphazard" from 60-62.

Bryce
David asked if anyone would like any Bear Jewelry
rings or earrings, he is more of a jeweler than a die maker lol Bear rings might be coming in the future

Lon
I can't correct you,I tried to sell you the '62 as a '59...

1963-1964 and about 90% of 1965 are german silver which I believe is actually nickle.bd

If you have any of the brass medallions with the nipple for a Bear Kodiak Hunter, I need one badly!

Ditto on the pins Kurt; please mark me down for one. I love Bryce's idea for a coin ring, also. This bunch is altogether too clever...GY
