Cody - Great find ! I see a couple of Left Hand bows in the batch that should make good traders to all the Left Hand shooters we have here.

Ron - You are correct, Storm Caps for the Northwoods quivers are rare indeed. I have only ever found one of them. It is the rubberized cloth, which if I remember correctly was the first advertised material for the Storm Cap. Not sure when Bear changed to the non-rubberized cloth, but makes sense as the Nimrod Storm Caps are non-rubberized cloth. Can you post of photograph of yours?

Ron - Just got your email with photographs of your Northwoods, so will edit my post here rather then add another post.

Your Northwoods has a Nimrod Storm Cap which has a much larger outside diameter. The original Northwoods Storm Cap is on the quiver fourth from right on the top row in the photograph that on a post last March. It fits pretty tight around the quiver and is much smaller in diameter than the Nimrod Storm Caps, shown on the bottom row.

      (http://i386.photobucket.com/albums/oo301/WadePhillips/0BEARQ-2.jpg)

Ron this is the photograph of your Northwoods with the Nimrod Storm Cap that you emailed to me and asked me to post...

There is a lot of light & dark color variation in the Nimrod Storm Caps. Yours is a real nice one with the original tag in it with the catalog number. Those are hard to find...

I will start out with the bow that most every one wants to know about... A few people who saw this bow in person said it's looks to be one that Howard Hill made back in the 1930s.. and there is some very very small hand writing which a few people say it looks to say Hill or Howard.. But it's so small I can't make it out.. There are no other writeing on this bow what so ever.. Still a cool old all bamboo bow from the ealry days..

Cody ( any help would be great guys )

That one target bow looks like a Hoyt Pro Medalist, or someone made it to look similar. Can't make out what the decal in that pictures says because of all the glare from your flash.

Regarding the supposed Hill longbow-did you look at the writing under a magnafying glass? Who is to say that it is not a Howard Hill made bow.

That spitfire sold new in 1963 for 130.00. thought you might like to know that. Shakespeare also made some big blocky risered target bows in the 60's that look alot like that target bow you have.

Good grab, glad they found an appreciative home,just so you know there's a target bow like the groves (model and dexterity I don't know if same year)on the auction site opening bid is 2 bills with no bids yet so don't get buyers remorse.
Title: Re: Here is the start to each bow with pics.....1 to 28
Post by: wadde on September 22, 2009, 08:17:00 PM
Cody the shakespeare target bows were large and resemble the bow you have but were from the early 70's not the 60's as I previously mentioned. I was mistaken. Anyhow nice find and if you are not hooked yet on this collecting thing you never will be. Welcome to the disease. It is terminal but quite enjoyable. The symptoms will get worse as the years go by but they are quite tolerable and relief is found with each bow find. You will shoot them and trade them and even sell some. The end result is still to be determined by all that suffer this terrible affliction. Much has been published about this disease and no cure has been found as of today. To be saddled with this affliction at such a young age has to be quite difficult as alot of us were not infected until post puberty. Good luck and lots of support from us all. Keep us posted on your progress.

Post by: Ron Roehrick on September 23, 2009, 09:56:00 PM
Wade, I emailed you the photos you wanted of the northwoods quiver and storm cap, if you would post them on here thats fine with me. I looked on my Bear CD and it shows a cloth cap for the 1948- 1949 northwoods quiver, but this cap has a tag on the inside that reads Q 835 and that means its probably a cap from a Nimrod quiver, it shows a dead ringer photo of it on the Bear CD for the Nimrod quiver for the year 1955 so I think that the owner got the caps mixed up from the various quivers that my friend bought at the estate sale?

Cody , that bamboo bow looks just like a Howard Hill bow that I owned and sold a few years ago , the guy I got it from got it from Howard himself , they were neighbors.
The fades and tips look exactly the same and the belly was ground flat and nodes were proud on the back . Good find bud

Thanks for the info Ted,

Rich is correct on th Coe bow but I think it is the Paragon as seen on page 52 of Cliff's book , if you look at the Deerfield it has a much bigger riser.
That last one looks like an early version of the Coe Super 57???

Cody,
Re:The other "no ID" bow after the Coe.

It does look a bit like a Coe, but it also resembles a Cravotta Bros (Blackhawk) bow....saw a lot of their bows growing up here in sw PA.  The faux-leather wrapped grip looks like theirs.  Also, is the handle/grip a bit offset(angled)?  That's something they did in the late 50's early 60's.

It is LH, so I'm interested should you ever decide to part w/ it    :D

Post by: DAVE1275 on September 25, 2009, 08:59:00 AM
Looks like a Black Hawk Chief.I had one a few years ago.Like Yule said late 50's early 60's.

Post by: Cody Roiter on September 25, 2009, 01:11:00 PM
Hello Yule, I think I have a Black Hawk Catalog some where... I go and find it.... Also Yule, I still don't know what bows to sell and what bows not to sell... I would like to sell a few to save up for a new custom bow and or the bow I all ways wanted one of the Bear T/D... If I decide to part with it.. I will let you know...

Post by: Ted Fry on September 25, 2009, 03:54:00 PM
Yule is correct it does look like a Crovatta bros grip, just not sure because of the nice piece of rosewood overlay on the grip.But he probably knows more about Cravotta bros being from that area. Cody that last one is older than you think , most likely 40ish , hard to tell from the pic but it looks like hickory with a nice example of a cordage grip.
Title: Re: Here is the start to each bow with pics.....1 to 28
Post by: Yule08 on September 25, 2009, 07:55:00 PM
The rosewood overlay is a bit off-putting....a bit of owner customizing?? Might take a good look at the seam w/ a magnifying lens Cody and see if there's an "amateurish" glue line perhaps?  I still think it's a Blackhawk. especially if the grip has the angle/cant to it....does it?
Title: Re: Here is the start to each bow with pics.....1 to 28
Post by: Cody Roiter on September 25, 2009, 08:13:00 PM
Yule... I took a good look at it and the rosewood overlay.. I can't see any "amateurish" glue line... Is there any other way of telling it could have been made by Blackhawk ???..

Cody
Title: Re: Here is the start to each bow with pics.....1 to 28
Post by: Yule08 on September 25, 2009, 08:35:00 PM
Cody--looking at your 3rd of the bow (bow upright, back-glass facing viewer) the grip appears to have an offset/cant to it-- Blackhawk did do this, not sure if any other manufacturers from that era did it.  Other than that, and w/out full set of catalogs it's difficult to tell.  They pretty much used decals and stickers for bow ID's so those get lost easy.
