Title: Damon Howatt Hunter info request
Post by: Jeremy on January 23, 2013, 01:11:00 PM
A lady I know picked this up recently and was interested in some of the details.  I gave her a guess based on what I know, but any info you fine folks could provide would be much appreciated.  I don't have a clue about the bow sight.

Her pics, sorry for the links   :rolleyes:

It seems to be in real nice shape.  She was also curious how good of a deal she got, so if someone would mind PMing me what the old Hunters have been going for... I don't much pay attention these days  :)

I love that era Hunter myself so for that, she did well. As far as price I paid a few years ago $200 for a nice 1963 with the rosewood riser and it was marked Ne Ultra Plus with no holes or finish issues. I see this one probably has several holes and finish needs to be shined up a little, not necessarily refinished, just spruced up. To some, like me, that would knock the price down some. To others it doesn't matter. I'd pay $135 for it.

Is it a 1965?  That was my semi-educated WAG.  The tape on Bear quiver is from about the same year.  But the bow sight?  I need to dig out some of my old catalogs...
