Hi all i lived in milwaukee wisc. all but the last 5 year now in northern wisc., today i was at a pawn shop just looking around and to my amasment came across for sale a wiffen selfbow or short long bow label still intaced original leather wrap this bow had no arrow shelf and the wood looked to be osage also it was stamped 65 and 28 above handle does anyone know value it? had no string bow coating on belly was sort of lifting like if you added oil on water kind of uniform like a tiny camo job gone funny is it worth purchasing not much for this type of history. $ 78.00 thanks for the reply
