Title: Vintage bear bow
Post by: MadLefty on February 25, 2013, 09:42:00 AM

Hey everyone! First post but long time reader.

I have a Bear Green Fox 56" 45 # rh lh bow that has a rubber black grip with Grayling, Mich. on it and I cannot seem to find any information on it.

Anyone know a year? Is it rare? And maybe it's current value?

Thanks in advance!

From the sixties I would guess. See them come up on the auction site all the time. Maybe do a search of the completed listings to get an idea of value. I'm guessing $20-$30

The only ones that I can find are 25 #. Is there a site that you recommend?

I spoke to an employee at a bear vendor tent last weekend and he said he has never seen a 45 # green fox.

I would take what a Bear employee said with a grain of salt. Quick check and here is one that sold for $43.50.   item #  230888852512

 More than I would have thought.

Ahhh thank you!! It was tricky since the title said 25 lb but the pick shows 45.
