Mr. Stewart's bows with the multi-cam limbs are widely recognized as one of the fastest and smoothest ever built.  He lived in Yakima, WA for many years before his death, making and selling his bows, so there is quite a following of Stewart fans here in Washington.  

If you research his background, you will discover his great influence on the design and manufacture of Bear, Wing, and other bow companies.  

Email me some pics and I will attempt to post them.  [email protected]

Your bow appears to be an earlier one without the multi-cam limbs.  Nice one!

are you looking to sell it or just want to know for your own edification?

An early Bill Stewart like yours sold here locally last year for around $250.  

These are fine bows, but I think Bill would prefer it be used rather than just hung on the wall.
