Here are pics of this mystery bow.  My guess is it was discovered hidden inside King Tut's tomb.
  :rolleyes:

Hello.  upload the photos to photobucket.com, saved as "medium" sized,(between 300 and 400), then copy and paste the img. code to your post will work.

I believe it was made by Glen Wilson in Muskegon, Michigan.  I shot the same bow in tournaments back in the 60's.  I still have my bow and has the same sticker on it although my bow has a laminated riser and is 27# at 26".  We live in Muskegon and Glen and my dad were friends.

Mine also has the same green glass on the limbs.  Glen wasn't in business long so it  could be of interest to a collector.

The strung profile looks a lot like a 61-62 Kodiak. I bet it shoots good.

Wow...at 104, you guys better not leave those bows out in the vehicle...strung or unstrung.

It was 46 and cloudy here in the northwest and barely made it to 70.  We have had the fewest days of 70 or more in recent memory.

Now I gotta go over to the classifieds and see what you're asking for that relic.
