This is one of E. Bud's Sultans. As you can see the belly glass is very similar to the 1959 and 1960 Kodiaks so it is probably easy to understand why I have hung on to it for years

Wade, Very cool pic of the decals on that bow. Monaca PA is a small town west of Pittsburgh where my Grandparents lived. I have family right across the river from there.
